Yes, Danny hired someone to do research for him. That person would be me. You can contact me by e-mail at
fybarra@earthlink.net if you'd like information about what was found.
I don't have the information in front of me at the moment because I am not in my office. I am writing from the Family History Library, but I believe that we found that
Simona was most likely an orphan who took the surname CAFRANGA. I believe we found a Simona who's birthday matched on the AHEB-BEHA records. (Just as lastrucha was trying to do for you, but found only the listing in 1773).
We found the orphan by doing a search for the given name and the date/place...without the surname.
I'm pretty sure there was a lot of information about the
Portuguese side GOMEZ, but I really don't remember it "off the top of my head." If you'll e-mail me then I'll be able to tell you more about that and we can talk about sending you copies if you like.
