Can someone with a Pre-1500 certification add his son,Francisco da Gama (Da_Gama-16), the second count of Vidigueira ? That way Vasco da Gama will be connected to the big tree.
Vasco da Gama married Catarina de Ataíde after September 1499 (date of the return from his voyage to India, when he sailed was single), and before 5 October 1501 (at this date Nuno Fernandes de Ataíde transfer an allowance to his sister Catarina that was already married).
