John B, Most people from Santa Maria sailed out of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island. The emigration OUT of the Azores are part of the "Passaporte" books. The port of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island is online, but some of the records are missing. Hopefully yours is there. You can access them through the Tombo site here: http://tombo.pt/d/acores
