Cheri, Thank you for the column headings. I know they went to Hawaii. The Suveric left Sao Miguel and went to the Madeira Islands. That is where my GGrandparents on my granfathers side came from. From their the ship sailed for Hawaii (Sandwich Islands). The Silvas (Sao Miguel family) lived their until 1913 when they moved to California. I have a picture of the family with a neighborhood boy outside their home. While the Gomes lived in Hawaii until the early 1920's.
I've looked through all of the 1906 passports and did not find them. Would they be required to apply for a passport in advance of moving? Would the children (5 of them) also be required to have a passport and be listed on the forms back in the early 1900's? The last Silva child was born in 1903, so I'll check the passport for 1903 - 1905 and double check the 1906 again. As always thanks for your help. Paul G.
