Aloha Eric,
What island and what district they were in? Gail E. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Gomes Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2013 10:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hawaiian Marriages Hi group, I have been thinking about my great great grandparents lately. They are Manuel Rodrigues and Isabel Marie ???. They are my grandmother's paternal grandparents. From what I can gather, both were born in the Azores (not sure where yet.) However, there was an age gap of 14 to 16 years between them. He was born in 1854 and she was born in 1870 - 1872. According to the 1920 census, he immigrated to Hawaii in 1874 and she in 1890. Unfortunately, the census takers made an error here because according to the 1900 Census when they were living in Hawaii, their oldest son was born in Hawaii in 1886. My great-grandfather, Joaquin Rodrigues was born on the Big Island on December 1, 1897. I do not know her maiden name and my grandmother cannot remember it. She is now 87 years old. I have also tried to locate both of them on the passenger lists on LUSAWEB.com without success. I presume they were married in Hawaii. I am wondering if there is a resource for church records on the islands? In some of the census's, it says that she was Naturalized. I am going to check to see if she is in the databases at the local court house the next time I am over there. Just wanted to bounce this off the group and see if anyone else has any ideas. The family moved to California by the 1910 Census. Any thoughts will help.
