Hi Samantha, Assuming the couple that Rose found for you from Santa Lucia, Terceira is correct, you should try looking at the passports from Angra.
Like Cheri suggested, start from the sailing date and go backwards, and keep in mind that they might not have been married yet when they got their passports. :) Linda On Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:06:00 PM UTC-8, Samantha B wrote: > > Hi Rosemary :) > > Thanks for the reply and apologies for the questions; I'm so new at this. > > Are you saying the Joaquim may have had an additional name (surname) which > he then dropped upon arrival in the US?
