Hi Jacinta: I do not know your sister's name, but I feel she is Agnelo's wife, from Vasco. If I am not mistaken, they are Mendonsas too. I used to see Agnelo when I used to be in Vasco in 60s, 70s and 80s. They probably drove back to Vasco along with Arch Brian Soares and family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008. JOEL.
