Honestly, the *EASIEST* way to do this is to first try to get your hand on the ship's manifest for your Grandfather. Ancestry.com has a search function that helps to narrow manifests down by name to make them easier to spot. Once you get a hold of that, life becomes much easier when looking for the passaporte. The manifest will have the date the ship arrived here in the US as well as when it left the Azores. Typically, I've found that my ancestors filled out their passaporte requests anywhere from a week to a month before they set sail from the Azores.

Honora The site is http://pg.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/passaportes/default.aspx? Click on passaportes and then click on the years that you think are correct. There is no easy way to do this. You have to look at all the names and years. I'd start with 1908 and then check 1907 and 1909. It's much easier if you have a better idea of when they arrived because you can narrow the search. If you want some help searching send me their names (use my e-mail address) and where they lived in the U.S. Maybe the passenger lists from one of the genealogy sites will give you more information. Good luck.
