My uncle confirmed that Clotilde (nicknamed Clota) adopted a boy. I don't remember him or his name. We left New York and moved to California when I was nine years old. She never had her own children. I saw her as a child. Vaguely remember she had long, straight black hair she wore in a bun.
Would you allow me to see your tree? I wanted to see what other details you have found for the Mercado family.
Have a wonderful day.
