Alex O, It's very unusual for someone in the late 1800s to go to Canada and then the U.S. That's not the typical immigration path for that time period.
I think the proper Portuguese name for your ancestor would be Jacinto Oliveira. You'll need to do a bunch of U.S. and Canadian research to figure out which island and freguesia (village) he came from. A good place to start would be with this how-to on the Azores GenWeb here: https://goo.gl/dGG4Ar Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 6:43 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather who emigrated to > Canada and then the U.S. most likely around late 1800s.
