I am looking for DAVINA and REIS families in Bandeiras, Pico. Immanuel Gracier Serpa Davina, born 23 Dec 1823 in Bandeiras, Pico. Left the Azores in abt. 1835 as a stowaway. The captain of the ship was named John ENOS, and Immanuel used the name John ENOS throughout much of his life. Returned home in 1853 and married Anna Isabelle REIS (born 18 Aug 1828), also from Bandeiras, Pico. They returned together to the US (Boston) about 1858, and eventually settled in Hamburg, IA where Immaneul died. Anna left Iowa with son, George Nathan Gracier Serpa Davina and moved to Oklahoma.
All of the DAVINA children had "Gracier Serpa" as their middle names. Could that be a family name? Two REIS cousins came to America with Anna to care for the children, but I don't know their names. I am interested in any others researching these names to help find their parents in the Azores.
