Thanks Susan, I will have them try the Alvernas surname. I did do a search for Alves in Faial and there were some Alves from there but I am not too sure we will know which family he came from as I have a feeling he probably came over on a whaler. I checked the New Bedford Whaling site but he is not listed there although there were a couple of Alves listed.
