Hi Mel I found one of your statements of interest in this story. You wonder what drew Manuel away from Hawaii. I am going through the same dilemma with my GGrandfather Joaquim Machado Pereira from Sao Jorge who left Hawaii and went to Australia in about 1870. In his case I think it was something to do with the whaling industry. Cheers Diane Donnon (South Australia)
