Frances, Maybe http://www.yourislandroutes.com/ can give? you a clue on the ones who went thru Hawaii.
The state of Hawaii has digital archives of passenger lists it might give you a clue for the ship and you could go back to the Azores lists around that date for passports. http://archives1.dags.hawaii.gov/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?a=p&p=about&c=indextoc&l=en&w=utf-8 Contancia de Azevedo is there and several Jose Oliveira Happy hunting, Pat Anselmo Nostrome -----Original Message----- From: azores <[email protected]> To: Azores Genealogy <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Aug 27, 2009 10:26 am Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] AZEVEDO PEREIRA BRICK WALL The Church of the Sea in Sausalito, CA has been very helpful. I was able to get copies of marriage's and births. >From my grandfathers side: Jorge Joseph Pereira Azevedo and Marianna Joaquina Silveira were from Sao Jorge. They had 6 sons and 1 daughter. I cannot find the town they were from. Most had settled in Marin County CA by 1860. I know Marianna was there but Jorge may have died in Sao Jorge. Most are buried in the cemetary on the hill outside of Sausalito. >From my grandmothers side: Joseph Oliveira and Contancia de Azevedo married in Sao Jorge and went to Honolulu. My grandmother was the oldest of several children. She was born in Honolulu in 1882. At the age of 5 the family moved to Sausalito where her father worked for the city street dept. Contancia's sister married a Teixeira. They are buried in the same Sausalito cemetary. My question is how do I find the town they were originally from on Sao Jorge? I've hit a brick wall on both families. By the way I remember hearing as a child that the Azevedo families were not related. But perhaps they are.
