Wow, yes. His name was Jose as far as I know. He was my grandmother's maternal grandfather. I have them being married in 1913 or 1914. They were both born in Lagoa. Supposedly they immigrated in 1913 but I can't find any records.
Jose's parents were Joao and Helena de Jesus Costa. Maria dos Anjos parents were Joao Costa Castelo and Maria Conceicao Zimbro/Zimbrilo/Simbro. I don't know what the true form of that last name is yet. Please email me, I believe this is a match.
