Hi Trevor, I know this post is old, but did you ever figure out who Manuel da Costa Pevide's father was? I'm a distant cousin from Brazil and am researching the same family. I noticed that you had two different birthdates on the two documents, but the same alien registration number. I found a birth record with a third date (Jul 27, 1884) for a Manuel da Costa Pevide in Furnas. Not sure if it's the same one. Please let me know if you found the information or are interested.
