Yes, I looked at island routes and the archives at the Hawaii.gov site, couldn't find it there. I'm just wondering if he used another name coming over. It's like his last name was de Souza, some children were name Souza Dias, and some were just plain Souza. He was also married in 1883, I don't know if he married in Portugal or Hawaii. I do show they had a child name Maria da Estrella Souza born in Portugal in 1882.

I haven't been following your search but sometimes you can find them.

But back then, not everyone was a good speller either. Not everyone is a good speller today! :) Go back to the website and start with the 1875-1883 records. Start at the end, in 1883. They could have immigrated Nov 1883 and the daughter born Dec 1883, so you need to check that too. DON'T read name by name. Look at the right hand page. In the middle, there's a column that say Destino (Destination). Look for the words "Hawaii," "Sandwich Isles,'" or "Sandwich" anything. And if he picked up his pen in the middle, it could look like "San dwich" or "Sandw ich" or anything. So don't skip over it if it initially looks like 2 words. Once you find a group going to Hawaii/Sandwich islands, then scroll left, looking for something that looks like Caetano da Souza , son of Jose da Souza and Maria Ignacio. Or Maria anything. And Caetano will be in his early 20s. Someone with Bob de Mello's book or the Knowlton book may be able to look up the entry for you (coming into HI). Also, you might want to check out Mel's Portuguese Hawaiian immigration site at www. yourislandroutes.com. She has an index to the book Portuguese Hawaiian Memories. That may give you more info.
