Nancy M, You need to be crystal clear when making a post. Your original post was 4 days ago. Many people won't remember what century you are researching. So when you post the 60s or 70s, no one will know if you mean the 1860s and 1870s, or the 1960s and 1970s. And if you don't know how he got here, we don't know how to help you. The ways to come to America are by land, boat, or air. And there are lists for boarder crossings (by land), ship manifests, and air manifests.
The best place to start is with a how to guide. It can be found on the the Azores GenWeb here: http://goo.gl/clPmc7 The main Azores GenWeb site (good to bookmark) can be found here: http://goo.gl/NOoE4s Once you start with your ancestor's death and work backward, you will start to make a timeline for him and then you will have a better idea of when he arrived and what he did.
