Though this isn't my side, I spoke to my 73 year old Aunt and she said that
from what she can remember her grandparents were Manuel de Couto m. Ana de
Jesus. Their children were Maria de Carmo (her mother) Maria Hortencia,
Maria de Jesus, Ernestina, Estrella and Manuel and there may have been a
Maria de Conceicao who had passed away, she couldn't remember. I'm not sure
of the order or if she is missing more children.
Looking at the dates, who as born around 1880, Ana de Jesus or Maria de
Conceicao and whose sisters, Ana or Maria's?
It would fit if Ana was born around 1880 and had those sisters. I would have
to sit with my Aunt and get her eldest sister, Carmen to get all the
information for her. I think Carmen would know a lot more.
Where are you from?

I would love for this to be a connection! The names i have are a bit
different than what you say
but i was writing things down from what my aunts and uncles could
remember. My great great grandfather
was Manuel Sousa Couto who was married to Ana do Jesus Couto (i don't
know how they would have the same last names..) One of their daughters
would have been Maria de Conceicao de Couto (my great grandmother).
The only other info i have of hers is that she was born around the
1880's and she had sisters...Maria de Luz....Francisca...Antonia de
Jesus...and Bernaldina...
