My great grandfather went to Hawaii from San Miguel, Azores and then eventually on to California. His Jacintho Vieira Anselmo was translated as Jesse.

I've found that on many of his official documents. In my neck of the woods (Fall River, MA) this seems to be the common trend but in Hawaii it could be a different story. Perhaps it's all on how the Americans heard the spoken name?

I have a great uncle who was born in Hawaii and on his birth certificate it lists his given name as Jacintho, but on other government forms they have it as Justin. Then my GG grandfather's given name (from passport info via Madeira Archives) is Jacinto, but on his son's death certificate it is listed as Justin.
