Fawn, I don't know about Faial, but I checked Ellis Island. I checked EllisIsland.org and found a Jose Silveria daRosa who arrived at Ellis Island on the passenger ship Vega on June 14, 1893. The port of departure was Faial. He was listed as age 19, and a laborer. Coincidently, my great-grandfather, Joao Pedro Tavares, was on the same ship and arrived the same day. His port of departure was St. Michael. There were 325 passengers on this ship. The ports of departure are listed as Lisbon, Portugal, and the following Azorean Islands... Teceira, St. Jorge, Faial, Graciosa, Flores and St. Michael. The Ellis Island site is free, you just have to register. You can even order a copy of the actual ship manifest. Jose Silveira daRosa is line # 292. My great grandfather is line # 103. I'll try to send you the link to the manifest page, but I'm not sure if it will work: http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipmanifest.asp?MID=01463813990192783104&LNM=DAROSA&PLNM=DAROSA&last_kind=0&TOWN=null&SHIP=null&RF=11&pID=103595160292 Take care, Bruce TavaresResearching Tavares of Agua de Pau, Sao Miguel, Azores Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 04:07:06 -0800 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigration Records located in Fayal
Good Day, I am hoping for guidance with this question: How would I find Immigration records, in Fayal, for relatives that left there and came to Cambridge, MA? I only have the immigration year. It is for my Great-Great Grandparents and Great-Grandmother. Joseph and Gertrude DaRosa immigrated, with their daughter, Mary, to Cambridge, MA from Fayal, Azores in 1893. Is there a way to find these records? I am unable to find the ship log. Also, Gertrude never became naturalized. Joseph died, soon after arriving, and never was naturalized, so those records are not available to me. I can't find any records for my Mary, either. I am hoping that there might be a departure record in Fayal. Is this a record that may be available? Thank you so much for your guidance. It is greatly appreciated.
