I have their obits but they only mention who has survived them and where they went to church, nothing else that will give me any clues, I don't have the ships manifest I only know he came to new bedford on a square rigged ship thats it, I don't know how to identify it. Is there only one port on Faial that he would have left from, would that even help?
