Michael, I have a similar situation with my great grandfather. He came here supposedly in 1898. The only vessel for that year is a schooner from his island Sao Jorge to Provincetown, Ma. There are names that look like his brothers, but he is now where on the list. They are all probably related somehow since it is a small island. The lady in New Bedford, Ma helping me said that not all ships manifests have been done. We could not find info on the schooner so seeing if he was crew has not been found either. We checked other records that say he came here in 1898 but they do not record the actual date or how. We checked the whale men out of New Bedford he is not there so he did not work in that field. The search continues. He is found in 1906 when he brought his new bride here. They went to New Bedford. Trying to find out how long they stayed in New Bedford and with whom and how they got to California. He has a common name as well Jorge Faustino da Silva, 1880-1950 son of Joao Faustino da Luz. Keep searching it will be found. Robin L
