Then I assume the Brazilian part is not accurate, unless her Guyanese great-great-grandmother had any Brazilian ancestry.
Thank you for this @bablah.
1930 census says both parents from British Guiana. Can’t find her on an earlier census.
We do have her picture, though. From her naturalization record.
