Paul G, I've looked 3 times. Nada.
I looked down the column for Povoacao, checking for either Matriz, Mae de Deus, or Lomba anything (since it's squishy). Then I rechecked down the destination column for Sandwich or Honolulu. I also checked the top and bottom of each page, looking at the passenger number, making sure that they were chronological and no page was skipped. Nothing. It looks like the bulk of people going to Hawaii end here, so you'd have to search backwards: http://goo.gl/RY4BQe Povoacao to Ponta Delgada is about 40 or 50 miles, I'd say. When I went to Sao Miguel with Shirley Allegre, we stayed in Ponta Delgada. We went to a festa in Ponta Garca (not quite as far as Povoacao). I don't remember what it took by taxi. 45 minutes? An hour? One way. It was difficult for us to find a taxi to take us back home at night. The point of my story is that I'm really thinking that in 1906, a family had to get a ride there and it wasn't a taxi. They didn't go there days and days before. Yet I can't find your family. Could Manuel have gone by himself to register his family? Maybe, but I don't know what the protocol was. Maybe the whole family had to be there, maybe just the head. You'll have to chalk this one up to space aliens somehow put your family on that ship. At least for now. I'm wondering by the child, Manuel, the AR number. AR is Alien Registration in the naturalization packet world. Wonder if Manuel ever naturalized and they went back to cross-reference this HI passenger manifest.
