>From "Passport Registrations, Portuguese Immigrants from Azores to Sandwich Isles, 1879-1883" by Bob De Mello, page 424:
Vital, Manuel do Rego, age 32 Father: Manuel do Rego Mother: Jacinta Candida >From Rosario, Lagoa #1143 Abergeldie No Come The Abergeldie left Jan. 1, 1883 and arrived April 30, 1883. I found his entry in the passaporte book, leaving the Azores. 1883, Feb. 14, Passaporte # 322, Passenger #1:143 (which Bob De Mello transcribed as 1143). He's 32, single, can't write. The final column, which asks for observations, says "Não foi," which Bob de Mello transcribes as "No come." Ummm, then the whole ship didn't come. I would guess that there weren't any observations to note, so "não foi" was written. Maybe a native speaker can shed more light on this. http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1875-1883/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1875-1883_item1/P137.html Also, there's no way for Manuel to register in February if the Abergeldie left on Jan. 1st. So something is wrong with this information. In "Portuguese Immigrants to Hawaii" compiled by Edgar C. Knowlton, Jr. page 381, it says he came on the Hankow in 1883. The Hankow did sail in 1883. I can't tell you the dates. The Bob De Mello said the Hankow sailed April 30, 1883 and arrived April 30, 1883. I typo must have been made. The only other thing the Knowlton book said was s40. I looked in the front of the book and I don't know what this means. So your Manuel was born c. 1850. Here's his baptism in 1851: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1847-1851/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1847-1851_item1/P390.html Although you are in the 2nd time period, the priest does list the baby's grandparents. Here are some key words to look for and some examples to get you to pick out key parts: https://goo.gl/4Tzc2i His "neto paternal" looks like "Nepto Paterno." You should be able to pick out names (they are capitalized). First the parents, then the paternal grandparents, then the maternal grandparents.
