Dear Mara- thank you once again for enlightening me. Yes I got the marriage certificate of Antonio and Maria and now I know his parents too.
In Maria's obituary it said something about Antonio buying masses(?) and her father, Joao DA Sylva, buying masses or something like that. Does that make sense? Also noticed that When Antonio de Mello remarried, it looks like 2 of the witnesses were related to the first wife, Maria. One was Joao DA Silva, Maria's father and the other is a Manoel L Pereira. I noticed that Maria's mother had the name of PEREIRA, (Sebastianna) so I should research who was Manoel Pereira. Apparently the relatives of the first wife, Maria, were supportive of Antonio when he remarried. Question: would the last name be "Pereira DA Silva"? . That priest kept writing "Sylva." With a Y. Thanks for your willingness to help.
