I too, was born on Oahu...Ewa to be exact..and had all my family on the island of Maui. My father was a paniolo and he was a foreman at the Grove Ranch in Makawao, Maui in the twentys.My father's name was Joseph Bishop Souza and his father and grandfather all named alike. Any connection?. I know my grandfather came from the Azores (My dad was born in Kailua, Maui on 1901)

My family is all from Hawaii. I was born there and still call Hawaii home. I came from the Island of Oahu. I have family also on Maui. I never got the death certificate for Joao de Souza Pregana. I will ask one of my Uncle's if they have it or maybe I just have to order one. I would love to get more information on them. My cousin told me that the Pregana name is not a common name same as Pragana and maybe that is why I am having a hard time finding information. Well, I will let you know if I get any further..
