*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.*
