I came across this and need to correct the fact that Joao is NOT Jose. It is like saying John is Joseph. My Great Grandfather is Jose, not Joao. I tried to fix this on the CITCEM site as I noted it was there incorrectly but it just wouldn't let me. I know it's been a while since this was posted so I hope you have that worked out by now. ;)
