Jacki, Go poke around on Mel's Portuguese Hawaiian Web site: www.yourislandroutes.com
I think in 1892, you are dealing with the Kingdom of Hawaii. There was a short period of time where Hawaii was an independent nation, and then became a U.S. territory before becoming a state around 1959. I'd have to look up my HI history. But being part of the Kingdom may limit your sources. Mel has some stuff for the Kingdom of Hawaii. If she doesn't see this message, go to her site at www.yourislandroutes.com and email her directly. Sometimes she gets a little busy, so give her a couple of days to answer you.
