These early settlers were amazing people. I was very interested in the voyage of the Orteric arriving Honolulu April 13, 1911 & the Willesden Voyage #1 arriving December 3, 1911. My maternal Grandparents Jacinto & Maria Ambrosia Pereira Gonsalves immigrated to Hawaii on either the Orteric or Willesden in 1911 from Funchal, Madeira. The State Archives, Iolani Palace Grounds, Honolulu, HI. referred me to The National Archives, Pacific Sierra Region located in San Bruno, CA to view microfilm with the ships manifests. I will be viewing the microfilm this week. The Group has been very helpful in my Azorean ancestory for my paternal grandparents and I appreciate this information on my Maderian ancestory .

One has to have so much appreciation for all they suffered. Aloha, Charlotte --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
