The information Shirley has below fits with the list of passports for that time period. I have from the passports: Joao de Sousa Pragana 30, single, laborer (camponeo) son of Joao de Sousa Pragana and Francisca Margarida, from Prazeres (that would be Pico da Pedra), Ribeira Grande. Passport issued 11 May 1881, #629 Leaving under contract (well, sort of), to the Sandwich Islands, on the English ship Suffolk. Hope that helps.
