Lyn You HAVE to use the DNA tests to unravel this one. With this level of information, I really doubt that you can get a confidence level to go above simple guesses.
Cheri will tell you all about it, but in your case I'd do a Family Finder test for myself, and get a few of Joe's male-only-descendents to do the Family Finder + Y67 tests. There are enough people in this group that you should get a Y67 match to establish the identity of the family of José's father. João C.
