Unfortunately, the further we go back with Portuguese records, the less we can learn about our female ancestors. The only thing I can gather about Francisca is that that she was born, married, raised a family, and died in the same village–Maia. Some day I will go back to the parish records and I’ll find out how many children she had or if she died young. Her story, as limited as it will be, is still untold.
