OK, in trying to find which book that has the info on the ship stopped in one port but your ancestor was counted in the other port, I found this instead:
John P. Colletta's "They Came In Ships." Mine is the 3rd edition (2002). So the page number may be off. Chapter 5: Other Resources and Information of Potential Value Sub heading: U.S. Departure Records (pg. 117) "Records of passengers departing U.S. ports are close to nonexistent." So chances of finding your ancestor sailing back for a visit or stay in the Azores is very, very, very slim. Read the whole section for a full explanation. You can find the book in your local public library. The bookstore may have it too. It's only 1 page long. -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
