Lisa, Ventura and Felicidade de Mello are my great grandparents. Your grandfather, Joseph, was the youngest brother of my grandmother, Mary de Mello (later became Dutra, then Gomes). As Lee found out after the Rabo de Peixe records became available, the family used the compound surname "Pacheco de Mello for three generations, but the Pacheco evolved to become the middle name after Ventura's immigration. I have scans of the 1948 Portuguese passports with their pictures that I can send you, along with some passenger manifests from 1903, 1916,.and 1948. I also have a passenger manifest for your grandfather from 1936 when he was 18 years old. It shows that he was en route to his sister, Mary Dutra (my grandmother) in Oakland. If you would like for me to send this information to you contact me at bsei2816 at gmail.com (no spaces).
