Hello Deb, Thank you so very much for reaching out to me. I started an email to you last night and didn't have a chance to finish it. I work graveyard and I am trying to get everything done so I can be off after tonight until the new year!!!
I do have a tree on Ancestry - it's public - "Combined Family Tree of Adena Robello Rollins" - and my user name is Adena Robello-Rollins There are several Robello's on the tree - my Dad grew up mainly around 2nd street in the projects. Off the top of my head I can think of 5th St, Ettie St, Atlantic St...I attempted to look on the website that is referenced in the group to look for information of family coming over from the Azores to Hawaii and California but I am stumped with the language translation. My Dad is Franklin Tavis Robello, and his Dad is Manuel Tavas Robello. I am not certain that Joe (Joseph) or (Joao) was my GGrandpa's name or not however with DNA matches and some corresponding with those matches I have found out my Grandpa, Manuel, had a couple of brothers and a sister in Oakland at the same time! This whole process is extremely fascinating - I am determined to learn as much as I can to be able to help others in the future as well. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for any information you can help me with.
