Hi Mara, Francesca would be Maria's mother, which is why I identified this record as possibly being them, since the ages match up for both Maria and her mother. I wasn't aware of a sibling, but it looks like there was at least one Joao, so I will go back into the birth records to see if I can find him. I'm not sure if his age is 12 or 14 there, but it's somewhere there. As Francesca's husband (Joao Ignacio Lima) is not listed,I went back and it looks like he came over May 6th of that same year (found via NY passenger records) and they came over in July.
The other Maria who was 20 is the one that must be a relative on the Lima side, I guess, if it wasn't a mistake that was made in the records.
