Aloha google groups, I descend on my Dad's side from grt.grandfather Anastacio de Viveiros (b. 1846 in De Cima, Azores) his father is listed as Antonio de Viveiros and mother Francisca de Jesus. I've seen his name also written, Athanzio, Atanacio, Atnacio and Anstos Veveiros in our Hawaiian Island records or City Directories.
His wife was Maria Jose de Jesus (b. 1856 in the Azores ) They arrived here in Hawaii with a baby Maria on board, and had 4 more children in Hawaii: Joaquin, Joseph, Laudelina, and Katherine. I descend from their son Joaquin Viveiros, a grandfather I never met,( born in 1882 in Hawi, North Kohala, on the island of Hawaii). His son Stanley Viveiros was my father, who passed away last year. I shared local family history with him that I came across and introduced 'cousins' as they surfaced which he aprreciated, I think moreso for me. I love him for that. It was more important for me to connect the present, at the time, but now I would like to go further back if possible. Any help on where to start would be appreciated.
