Helen and Jesuina

This month we explore the mystery of Helen Correia and her adoptive mother "Jesuina". Helen was part of the Pacheco clan, but it was unclear which part. There was some belief that she belonged to the group called "The Reds" (because of their red hair).

She was given away for adoption to someone named "Zuweena". That's all we knew about her adoptive parents. Zuweena was definitely a literal translation! So, what was her adoptive mother's name? And, who was her adoptive father? Who were her real parents?
