Doug: Thanks for your reply! I don't have dates for this family, because it has
been shared with me via a distant relative. At any rate, I do not know the
parents of Antonio COTTA, but I do have the parents for Maria LINHARES. Her
parents were Manuel Machado LINHARES and Maria MENDONCA. This couple had five
other children: Manuel, Antonio, Francisco, Joao and Jacinto. If you see a
connection I would love to hear!
