Hi Shirley, I think we spoke on the phone many months ago about this very
thing. I haven't been in town and not spending much time doing research, but
just got back and tried looking stuff up again.
My grandfather/grandmothers parents names are a mystery to me. I have NO
idea. I'm trying to find a needle in a haystack. I have some info from other
people doing research that may or may not be connected to me. I'm sure you
understand the "maybe" factor especially with such sketchy info. Manuel
Fragoso (?) Mello and Maria Medeiros Mello. At some point, they all lived in
Honokaa, HI as that is where my father, Ernest was born. He was one of many,
many kids! (13-16?) Most were born in Hawaii and the youngest were born in
California. Have never found birth records for Dad - he was born on October
11, 1901. The oldest son, Joseph Fragoso Mello was born in Hawaii on Aug. 31,
1890 and died on Mar. 4, 1944 in California.
From the 1910 Calif Census, Manuel F. Mello was born in 1866 in Portugal
(they never say Azores) and Maria/Mary was born in 1875. It says they were
married (in Hawaii, I'm assuming) in 1888.
1910 Census also says Mary immigrated in 1883....I don't know how much of the
census" records are correct. Info seems to change from census to census.I have
"other" info from someone researching on Ancestry.com that Manuel was 5 when in
came to HI and Maria was 18mo.old in 1881. None of this fits.....With the names
I think things have gotten all co-mingled with other family lines.
If I can believe the info on the 1910 census, grandfather Manuel F. would
have been 15 yrs. old and grandmother Maria/Mary would have been 8 yrs. old.
I found on one of the ships manifests a "STOWAWAY" by name of Manuel F. Mello
(I think it was in 1881) but it didn't say any age or anything else!
The census records have many mistakes by way of transcription. The latest,
`1940 census, shows my parents listed as "Mills"....Sheesh!
I have info from the 1900 Hawaiian census that shows a Manuel Mello, B/D 1868
in Portugal immigrated to HI in 1887! married to Mary in 1889 - now do I take
that as gospel? I'm ready to throw up my hands on this! Dates seem to float
up and down. Geez when they interviewed these people don't they know their own
birthdate? Why do they keep changing, if, in fact, they are the same people?

Are there ship manifests from 1881 and 1883? I believe my grandfather
Mello and grandmother Medeiros emigrated to Hawaii those years as children from
Sao Miguel...

Just added a part of another ship:
http://www.dholmes.com/ships/ship95.html
These are mostly Sao Miguel passengers and some from Graciosa, but as more
from this list are added, there will be some from Sao Jorge and also Terceira,
etc.
Once done it will complete all of the year 1896 to NYC.
Enjoy.

Thanks to the terrific volunteer work of Mr. James Rego Nicolau of the
San Diego area, I have posted many new passenger ship lists on my website.
The great thing about these extractions is that he has a good
recognition of Portuguese names, unlike the extractions done by Ancestry.com
and Ellis Island Foundation/LDS.
While the person can be located if you use these other resources as a
guide and are lucky enough that they didn't totally butcher the name of the
person you seek, it is overall much more likely that the extracted ships I have
(now am up to 78 ships) will quickly allow you to find them if they arrived on
one of these extracted ships.
Find them all here:
http://www.dholmes.com/ships.html
And if you decide you want to add your name to the growing list of
volunteers, I can direct you to pick a ship or two for your own extraction.
Maybe you'll even get hooked like Mr. Nicolau. I think he's done maybe 40 ships
now. There are many more he has extracted that I have not yet uploaded.
Happy hunting.
