Karen, In the have noticed on some of the ships' manifest, that some boats leaving out of Sao Miguel would then go to the other islands to pick up passengers. I believe I saw - Sao Miguel/Fayal (that was the spelling) and Sao Miguel/Terceria. _http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/_ (http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/) Have fun searching. best, grace best, grace falcone

Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel is definitely the furthest port from Sao Jorge island. I would guess the port closest to home would be where an ancestor would leave. But if they had to leave soon, they may have gone to any port to get out the soonest. I've seen a few Sao Jorge people leaving from Sao Miguel, but the vast majority are from Sao Miguel and Santa Maria islands.
