Hello all. I hope everyone had a great, lovefilled Easter.
I am requesting some fresh ideas on a possible surname change of one of my
ancestors.
My ggg grandmother's brother, Manuel da Costa Galante, from Lagoa, N.S.
immigrated with his new bride to Hawaii in 1884 upon the ALBERGELDIE(think
thats right). His passport along with information from a book Ms. Shirley has
stated his whole name as that which is above.
Now my problem is I have searched all the subsequent census records up to 1910
in Hawaii, and I can not find any one with that last name, Galante. Does anyone
have any ideas of an alternative spelling of the last name, or maybe if it
would be usual for one to drop the last name and just go by "da Costa"??
Any suggestions and / or ideas would be appreciated.
Lisa L
