Hi Cheri,
Is there someplace to look for crew lists for non-whaling ships that
sailed into New Bedford? My ggf was reportedly a ship captain but we

Bom Dia - do you have any records from Calheta, Sao Jorge? My family is

The date on the file card of June 8 1882, is incorrect. The ship SS Monarch

rounding South America at that time. The manifest might not be available,
but the Oakland FHC
Wow Eric!
Thank you so much! I would never have been able to find that on my own. If
not for any other reason, I don't speak/read portuguese. (Yet anyway. I'm

Jacki,
This where the family is from. When you order films at the FHC this the

A concelho is like a county, a group of towns.
A fregusia is the town . Faja means fan but refers to the fan shaped area
built up
Iris,
Thank you, that was really nice of you.
I have been trying to find Luiz on a census but no luck so far. I don't know
how long they stayed there before moving onto California. He could have
only been on either 1890 or 1900 because he and his son Manuel (my g
grandfather) were dead by
Eric,
Thank you. That definitely makes more sense.

Jacki,
I see someone answered your question. Yes, all ships first went to
Honolulu where the people were process. The Portuguese immigrants
went through the Portuguese Consulate and were recorded in those
logs. Those logs are on microfilm with the LDS church. The consulate
