Hi Eliseu,
In answer to your question about my ggrandfather Jose da Costa here is what I know. He emigrated from Sao Miguel about 1883 to Hawai’i. He married Inocencia (Maria Jacintha) Pereira in 1884. He resided in North Kohala with his family working as an asst. engineer on a sugar plantation. He had the following children: Joe, Frank, Charles, Amelia, Maria, Isabella, Jacintha. He changed his name to Costa Pimental sometime around 1910-1920. His wife died in 1909-1910 and was buried in Hawi, N. Kohala. His first daughter, Maria, married Manuel Moniz in 1909 and was living with him in 1910. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out which ship he came on or track down his passport registration from the Azores. That is about it on him for now.
