Fawn, I noticed that another poster listed a ship named the Olinda arriving in NY on May 3rd. This could very likely be the ship that your GGM arrived on, as the Olinda made many voyages bringing immigrants from the Azores to the US. I realize that you have an April 23rd date, but, sometimes the sailing date gets posted instead of the arrival date. The normal voyage from Fayal to NY would take between 10 days and two weeks, and, May 3rd falls within that period. As for your other question, "Gertrude" in Portuguese is "Gertrudes." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Wednesday, April 4, 2012 7:07:49 PM UTC-4, rcap wrote:
