Bill, you’ve done it! Thank you So much. As a note for others, on one obscure record in all my searching, there was a mention of an Anna Maria de Jesus. She was christened Maria, then. She must have been an only child, then, which made the searching more difficult. AND I FINALLY HAVE A PARISH. Thank you. Santana was where my her grandson— my father-in-law— was born and baptized after they left Brazil soon on their way to the sugar plantations in Kohala, Territory of Hawaii.
