I don't know which island the ships landed. My guess would be Oahu first then some were taken to other islands. Two sets of my great-grandparents eventually landed on Maui. But my Oliveira great grandparents went to Kauai before Maui. Have you tried contacting The Portuguese Genealogical & Historical Society of Hawaii? 810 North Vineyard Blvd., Rm 11 Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817 808 841-5044 or Doris at 808-455-2142. It's only $10 a year dues to be a member. Here is what it says about the Steamship Monarch in "The Portuguese in Hawaii" by John Henry Felix, Ph.D. (out of print) #7. Steamship Monarch (British) arrived Sept 15, 1882, 57 days out from St. Michael (Sao Miguel), Azores, with 202 men, 197 women, 458 children.

It gives me an approximate year of birth for Luiz and Jose. I haven't been able yet to find Luiz on any census and I didn't know that Jose existed before two days ago. Do you know if that would that be the island of Ohau where they arrived?

I found an index card for them in June of 1882 on the SS Monarch but have been unable to find the actual manifest. I am pretty sure that this is my g great grandfather Manuel Fernandes and his parents and brother. If I could find more info about them, I could be more sure. According to Roza's death cert and the info from one of the census' she immigrated somewhere between 1880 and 1885 with her husband and at least one son. She was born Jan 1859 and her son was born Aug 1878. I don't know any dates for Luiz.

It's PA (Pa) for Papers filed, NA (Na) for Naturalized, and AL (Al) for Alien. Can you say where you found your ancestor on the 1930 so another pair of eyes can take a look?
