Hi E, I found a marriage in Fall River for Manuel de Mello and Francisca Tavares Aug 12, 1894, he age 22, she age 19. His parents were Jose and Helena Mello, her's Manuel & Francisca C. Frazaeo(?). They were from Sao Miguel. I also found a birth for Manuel in New Bedford 1898, but the film can not be read. I have a Jose Correa de Mello and Helena Chaves de Mello in my tree. My Helena was born 1858 in either Capelas or Santo Antonio. If they are the same, I have a lot of info on Helena's side. Haven't looked up Jose's yet.
I can look up the rest of the children if you want. Let me know.
