Paul G. my great grandparents came to Hawaii on the SS Surveric on the same date. They also left Hawaii in 1913 and came to Oakland, California on the SS Sierra. They were either relatives or good friends of the Silva's. My grandmother's godparents were Silva/Medeiros. My g grandfather was Manuel Jesse (Jacintho) Duarte and my g grandmother Maria Francis Rose Correira Medieros Duarte. They had 3 children when the arrived in Hawaii Maria 6 or 7, Manuel Jr. 3, and Georgina 1. My grandmother was born on the Big Island in Haukula and her brother August Duarte was born in Lihue, Kauai. That is about all I know. M G Grandfather drove a mule-team in the sugar cane fields I believe. I am trying to find out more information about their life in Hawaii and would love to see passports but I do not know how to do that. Could we be related????
