Kathy, I checked Ancestry and found Pregana's in Hawaii. I also found ship's records of some coming into Providence RI in 1913 and it says they are from Fernaes da Luz, Sao Miguel and they left their mother Bernardo de Jesus.
There are also pictures of some family members posted there...are these yours? Hope this helps.
