Dale Pewitt, are you Byron Dale Pewitt, whose mother is Thelma de Mello?If so we are related.My grandfather was Manuel Freitas born in Madeira in 1877, who married Theresa de Mello;he had a sister Maria Freitas who married Manuel de Mello. The two de Mellos who married the two de Freitas were brother and sister who married a sister and brother.
I do not have much on grandfather Manuel Freitas.I was told that his father was Antonio Freitas and his mother was Ana Telles.But have never had any confirmation on this.Have never had documentation on any of grandfather's siblings, parents, etc. All that my mother told me was that grandfather went to Hawaii when he was a small boy maybe age 9.I do not know the name of the ship.
Waiting to hear from you.
