• Notes

  26. Luis Eduardo's birth certificate includes a note indicating that he married Leonor Nepomucena Machado on May 29, 1916. This information is curious because, as we have seen in the Chronological Ordering Tables, Luis Eduardo was already living in New York in 1915, where he worked as an accountant, and in 1918 he reappears in New York when he registered for military service in the United States due to World War I. Searching online for references to Leonor Nepomucena Machado, we found a genealogy of hers spanning 40 generations and 772 pages.
