Hello Michael,

Found in date range: 1836-08-05 to 1839-05-07 - a Manuel Jacinto, 15 years old, 
passport # 131. It’s a quick find in the link below.

to know more go here, left side gives specifics i.e. particulars about him:
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-FAL-1836-1839/PASSAPORTES-FAL-1836-1839_item1/P70.html

The record does not contain name of parents but bottom right corner has the 
signature and name of the person who was taking Manuel Jacinto; Antonio Ramos 
da Silveira Coutinho, who late became Horta’s County Prosecutor.

This should help you narrow down his birth date, so you can go try find his 
birth record in Pico.  

Best,
Margaret

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Passenger List or documents related to a 
sailingfrom Faial July 1834

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance. Unfortunately I only speak 
English, so researching online public domain in the Azores is not possible. I 
believe that my great great grandfather, Manuel Jacinto (born on Pico and son 
of Manuel Jacinto Avila) arrived in Trinidad on 15 July 1834 on a British 
Schooner, "The Watchful" from Faial. The ship contained indentured workers for 
Trinidad's plantation owners. The results were disastrous for all workers and 
in 1835 the remaining Portuguese (some later arrived from Madeira) to be 
supported by the government and returned to their homelands. My great great 
grandfather was 10 years of age. I was hoping to confirm he was one of the 
passengers and find out if he was alone or travelling with family.

Public records in Trinidad were destroyed in 1903 in a fire in Government 
house. Newspapers in Trinidad only record the number, 44,  passengers, 7 women, 
29 men and boys and some children. 

Can anyone help?

Regards
Michael Emmett
