I have another update on this research. I post a link to the Fiche de Emigrant for Manuel Mello Castanho on my FB wall last night hoping one of my cousin's cousins might recognize them. It worked! A cousin in MA has confirmed that she knew them and went to school with the children.
And, then she gave me the detail I was waiting for. Her mother had told her that Manuel's father, Francisco, was her grandmother's* twin. So, now I have confirmation that Francisco and Engracia were twins and that Manuel was Engracia's nephew. It pays to share on FB. You never know who is going to have the information you seek.
