Hmm, I guess my question should have been phrased differently. In the same time period, there are many with the surname Santos but; only a few who go by dos Santos. Different family lines? No other surnames are included on any of the dos Santos that I’ve seen but; Santos sometimes stands alone and sometimes is accompanied by other surnames.
