Thank you! Luckily I speak Portuguese so I can read some of the old records and have been looking for similar names Roberto and the ones listed are great possibilities.
Any idea where I can find specific passenger lists from 1869 to 1873 from Azores to US so that I can try and find them? I could not find any naturalization records (not under the new name) or immigration. Any other hints for searching Flores? Thanks!
