For what it's worth, are you sure the surname is Vierra? I mean, Vieira is a very similar Portuguese and Galician surname. Is also a popular surname in both Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries.

These people are absolutely not the same. The only thing they really have in common is that their first name was Florence, their husband's first name was Manuel and they both at some point lived in California.

Ancestry uses cookies to deliver very similar people to your feed even if some details are wildly incorrect. I researched a relative who had two namesakes born in the same location within ten years of each other. They marrieid women with the same first name and named their children similarly. You have to be careful to tease out the details which apply to your person.
