Hi Jo Anne,
This link shows all the ships that sailed to Hawaii with Portuguese passengers:
Some were extracted, as you will notice.
All are available through a service like Ancestry.com, but you can also access them through any LDS genealogy library, I think.
As for what has been extracted and posted on my above website, that totally depends on the person who is interested in volunteering their time so everyone else can benefit. The person currently active with extractions is finishing up the last of 1896 for NYC. I believe after that he plans to work on those still missing from the earlier years like 1891.
If you or anyone wants to pick a ship and do this, the simple thing to do is look over what others have already done and send it to me and I'll post it.
The extraction is only as good as the person who is familiar with Portuguese names, so what I do it scan every name and if it is obvious there is a mistake, I fix it. If I can't really imagine what it might be, I put a question mark after it. You can use them as a guide and if you believe you found the person you seek, look for the original record and get a copy of the original.
Anyone who finds an error can send me the correction and I'll gladly post it.
Good luck,

Are there ship manifests from 1881 and 1883? I believe my grandfather Mello and grandmother Medeiros emigrated to Hawaii those years as children from Sao Miguel...

Thanks to the terrific volunteer work of Mr. James Rego Nicolau of the San Diego area, I have posted many new passenger ship lists on my website.The great thing about these extractions is that he has a good recognition of Portuguese names, unlike the extractions done by Ancestry.com and Ellis Island Foundation/LDS.While the person can be located if you use these other resources as a guide and are lucky enough that they didn't totally butcher the name of the person you seek, it is overall much more likely that the extracted ships I have (now am up to 78 ships) will quickly allow you to find them if they arrived on one of these extracted ships.Find them all here:And if you decide you want to add your name to the growing list of volunteers, I can direct you to pick a ship or two for your own extraction. Maybe you'll even get hooked like Mr. Nicolau. I think he's done maybe 40 ships now. There are many more he has extracted that I have not yet uploaded.Happy hunting.Doug da Rocha Holmes--
