Helda, I found the birth records for 6 of their children so far. The record for their son Joseph lists the both his father and mother as born in PICO. All the others say Western Islands. All children b. Gloucester.
Antone b. 2/19/1901 Joseph b. 10/2/1895 parents b. PICO Nora b. 7/29/1897 John b. 4/13/1899 Arthur b. 4/11/1904 Manuel P. 1/24/1907 You can see these at familysearch.org. Just put in the last name Mitchell, Gloucester, Massachusetts, father Frank, mother Laura and they will all come up for you as well as census record info. Hope this helps. I have not been able to find her US ship's manifest and am not good at reading the Passportes records and don't know where she would have sailed from in the Azores if she came from Pico. I am sure others on the list can help you with this and you could search 1887 to 1889 range. Will take some time.
