Hi Samantha,
Some suggestions re more US searching. Fellow group members have found promising leads for you. You can now try to fact check via US resources to see if the data corresponds with/supports these new findings. *On the Passenger List, go to the far right column and see if there is information about the destination, which could include more family members. My grandmother’s info said they were going to stay with her mother’s sister, gave the name and street address. *Check the US Censuses for more clues. 1910 included M1 (or 2, etc) and #yrs married; when to US and the status (Al, Pa, Na), #children b/living (could verify the known births and/or hint at additional children who d young); 1920 asks yr immigrated/status; 1930 asks age at 1st marriage, yr immigrated/status. *WWI Draft Registration would have age, birthdate *WWII Draft Registration includes age, place of birth *Naturalization Papers (Petition and Declaration of Intention) can be verrry helpful. My grandfather’s 1926 papers listed my grandmother and all of their living children/ages as well as his birth location. My grandmother’s 1942 papers gave details of my grandfather (birth date, place; his arrival information and date of naturalization). Also names of all of her children, with their birthdates and where they were living in 1942; her exact birth location in the Azores, where she sailed from, where/when she arrived. *Explore birth, marriage, death records in the US for additional information. Perhaps more challenging is finding US baptismal records. *Try newspaper searches. Some are on ancestry.com, newspapers.com, genealogybank.com . The different sites have different area papers. *Try searches for the maybe cousin in the US.

I've been unable to find them online. Many thanks Samantha On Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:06:28 PM UTC-8, Rose wrote: Dear Samantha: I believe the attached Santa Luzia, Casamento records from the island of Terceira may be the couple you are looking for: Joaquim Benedicto and Maria Josefa. According to the record: They were married on 2 February 1906 in Santa Luzia. He is 30 years old from Fontinhas of Terceira living in Santa Luzia. He is the legitimate son of Benedicto Antonio native of Altares and Maria Delfina native of Nossa Senhora da Piedade of Pico. She is 20 years old native of Santa Lusia. She is the legitimate daughter of Antonio Goncalves Leostinho and Maria Theodora from Santa Luzia (Fontinhas - Nossa Senhora da Pena, island of Terceira) I hope this is the couple you are looking for.

They sailed from "St Michaels: on 3/19/1906 on the SS Brooklyn. There were no other family members with them on the ship that I can see. All of their children were born in the US. I've started going through the March 1906 passport records for Ponta Delgada hoping to find their names. I'll go forward a bit and look at the whole of March for that year and back to the start of the year. Joachim may also have had a cousin Maria Correa (Coria, Corea, Cory) who also came to the US about the same time. She was born in the Azores on 12/23/1896.

Happens all the time! On Dec 4, 2016 2:37 PM, "Samantha B" <samc...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi all I'm building my husband's family tree on ancestry.com. His maternal grand parents arrived in the US from the Azores in 1908. I have the ship name and passenger list from Ellis Island but I'm struggling to work out how to get more information about them from the Azores. Currently I'm slowly looking through the passports but I don't even know how long before sailing they would have registered for passports. I've also joined http://www.portugueseancestry.com/ as it seems one of the family trees there has the surnames involved (just waiting on my login details atm). Any other suggestions for research will be most gratefully appreciated. All I have are the grandparents birth dates (no specific location in the Azores), US arrival ship and date and US death dates. We've done an ancestry.com DNA test but, it seems, without more information I can't really start researching the Azores matches.
