I found the following ship's manifest on Ancestry for Manuel Jose Gibau 21....SS Daisy arriving New Bedford, May 29, 1915. He had been in US before and was NA. He is leaving his father Jose Gibau and is going to his sister Maria Gibau Lima 14 Link St. Providence.
.........could this be the family earlier?? Note the Link St. addresses on both manifests.......... SS Zulmira arriving NY, June 10, 1905 - names are a little different buy sure looks suspicious especially given Maria married Oct. 1905? Emilia Gomes Gibau 46, going to husband Jose Gibau Goncalves, looks like 34 Link St., Providence ch: Maria Gibau Goncalves 22, Justa Gibau Goncalves 12, Manuel Gibau Goncalves 10. Could it be they dropped the Goncalves surname that seems to happen every now and again and used Gibau? Note, Emilia uses Gibau, not the Goncalves surname that the children used. Did Jose, the father, and maybe other family members return to Brava by 1915? This is really going to confuse you, Alexis, if they are one and the same...one more surname to deal with :-) Does this look like the same family to anyone else?
