We could be related.
My mother was Alide Natividad Guedes (1922-1993).
My mother's parents were first cousins.
Her father was Romualdo Manuel Guedes (1876-1968),
son of M. Romualdo Gudes and Julia Bustos.
Her mother was Filomena Guedes, daughter of Carlos Guedes and Sinforosa Suarez.
Filomena was the youngest of about eight or nine.
Off the top of my head, some of her siblings names were Polonia, Alfredo, Rafael, Obdullio.
My mom had a first cousin I remeber visiting us when I was little by the name of Roberto Carlos Guedes?
Carlos' father was Wenceslao, who came from Portugal via Brazil and owned many acres of what is now the southeaster/western end of Buenos Aires.
Of course, through the years, the land was divided up among his descendants and eventually sold.
I can try to gather up more info. for you if you are interested.
I still keep in touch with my 83 year-old aunt in Argentina.
