Jeremy, There is no emigration OUT of the U.S. I don't believe there's anything going INTO the Azores (you should state Azores as many are researching the Hawaiian islands too).
You don't give a date for his American passport. In the U.S. there's film up to 1925 and then you have to write to the passport office for after 1925. You MUST include his death certificate. Here's the information from the Azores GenWeb. I haven't had to write for someone's passport for a long time, so no guarantee the URL will work. It's halfway down, item 5: https://goo.gl/uJMvDh Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 9:57 PM, 'Jeremy G.
