I wonder if there are any documents written during Maria's life with her full name. I am wondering if it is possible that her middle name was not "de Ceu" but "Abreu". This was her grandmother's last name and seems more logical. Also, I have her birth year as 1870 based on Adelaide's birth certificate and the fact the I have documentation that her sister Maria Gloria was born in 1871. I have a death certificate for a Maria Freitas born in 1870 died in 1942. He husband's name was Joseph and she was buried at the San Jose Mission. The informant on the death certificate did not know the parents but under the father wrote "Abreu", perhaps assuming that Maria de Ceu or Abreu used her maiden name as a middle name. Also, this Maria Abreu Freitas died at a hospital in Centerville in Alameda county but was buried at the San Jose Mission. These little mysteries are interesting to me. Perhaps you know something, perhaps not.
