Hello Jerry, You are most welcome! I hope at least some of the information helped.
Are you in need of additional help such as Census Records etc., once they arrived in the States or is your need/want for records for the time period (Azores)? Best of luck on your search.

They must have gone back to Portugal because Joseph & John were born there according to Familysearch.org. I can't find a marriage record for them either at NEHGS so they may have been married in Portugal as well. Joseph A. Ventura abt 1903 in Portugal. John V. Ventura abt 1905 in Portugal. Maria was born 1906 in New Bedford. Vol: 558 ; Page: 327 but I can't pull up the record. Will continue to try. Maria married Noah Chaves on June 27, 1930.

He did get married to an Eva Hopkins though according to UMass Dart and they had a girl on 4/21/1946. David & Eva may have gotten divorced because I found an Eva Ventura with Edward Swiatkowski in 1957. Just not sure yet because I couldn't find anything else on David.
