My ancestors came to Brazil from São Miguel, and I know that some of my family's cousins went to Hawaii. This was from the same village. As far as I could tell, it had to do with when they left. They had different waves of immigrations. So, in a certain year, recruiters would come to bring people to Hawaii. When my ancestors left, most people were going to Brazil. Interestingly enough, my ancestors also worked on sugar plantations, but in Brazil.
