It is believed he was in Fairhaven, MA. He arrived in Boston prior to 1900. He became a US citizen in 1900. I believe he also had 2 sisters. Theirs names, i believe, are caterina and maria (?) Since My great grandfather Manuel was disowned from his family, he never really talked about them. Manuel did leave his wife and son. Manuel died in 1954. His son died after he did of gout. It is believed his son was also named Victorino and had 2 kids. John and Nancy. John was maybe a doctor or in the medical field and Nancy was a singer, or so. Any help is appreciated.

I checked the 1900 MA Index but couldn't locate anyone with the surname of MELLO in Fairhaven, MA. Although there were a number of Manua(e)l MELLO's listed in MA, just not in Fairhaven. No Joeo or Victorino Mello's listed at all in MA.
