Bill - you are correct!!!!!!! I found that info last night and was over the moon! It does look like Corvello and there are too many coincidences, especially the daughter Clementina whose birthday date matches exactly her US records. So I think I hit gold!!!! Plus Clementina was visiting a Frank daCosta Lima on the 1900 census - still trying to figure him out since he was younger than her mom but had the same name as her dad. Maybe a brother...
I could not find Rosa Alexandrina even though she was born in the same parish in Feb 1851, I looked 1850 to 1852 Someone sent me a link that they found Jose Joaquim Corvello in another parish. I just cannot believe how different the last names are from Corvello to Roberts! This has been bugging me so much since I could not find a lead but a UPEC lookup and finding the parish was a huge breakthrough! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
