A friend answered the phone and he told me how to look at their holdings. From the FamilySearch.org Website, you select Search and then Catalog on the next line. A search box opens and you can search by film. Below the window where you enter the film number you can choose to limit your search to a specific Family History Center. The long and the short of it... they have the film I am looking for. I have to try and get there next week as they are closed between Christmas and New Years. It should not be too difficult since I work in Oakland about 8 miles from the library. Thanks for the other info as well. Eric Gomes Castro Valley, CA p.s. I still need to work on learning Portuguese. =) On Sat, Dec 14, 2013 at 1:05 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: I can confirm there was heavy emigration from Madeira to Hawaii. Maybe even equal to that of Sao Miguel. Doug da Rocha Holmes Sacramento, California Pico & Terceira Genealogist 916-550-1618 www.dholmes.com -------- Original Message -------- It is my understanding that the Hawaiians recruited heavily from both the Azores and Madeira. The ship to Hawaii left from Funchal, Madeira and Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel. That's why there's more S.Miguel people to Hawaii than the other 8 Azores islands. As for how much from Madeira versus the Azores, I don't know. Hope someone else does.
