[AZORES-Genealogy] Understanding Azores in 1880
My grandfather, Manuel Correia Silva was born in Covas, Graciosa on 16 Nov 1867 and immigrated in 1882 at the age of fifteen. The first record I have is a new Bedford City Directory from 1883 which showed him working as a barber. Family lore says that he was trained as a barber in Graciosa.. I also think that because he was working as a barber that he could speak english in 1883. The 1890 census showed that he could read, write and speak english. My question, for anyone who has studied the history and culture of the time is: Is it more likely that he was from a merchant class, rather that the fisherman/farmer who appear to be the majority of immigrants? Could he have learned english in Graciosa? How likely is it that his father was a barber? Manuel was very successful, always locating his shop in the heart of the business and political hubs of New Bedford. I wonder if that was learned in Graciosa, where the barber served the wealthy folks. He stood behind a barber chair for more than sixty years until he retired at seventy-five. I know there are no real questions or answers here, I'm just trying to get a feeling for what his life may have been like before he left.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigrant Ships
Hello Len, My relatives all settled in New Bedford when they arrived coming through Providence, RI. Did you look there? By the way, my great grandfather was Joao Correia dos Santos. All his siblings and father are Correia da Silva. He had a brother Manuel. His grandfather was also Manuel. They came from Graciosa. Most of my relatives left New Bedford for the Santa Clara Valley. The Silva ones we know of went to Mendocino County, Fort Bragg, and Truckee. Any relation? Karen :) On Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 11:35 AM, Leonard Silva lensi...@lenstudio.comwrote: My grandfather, Manuel Correia Silva arrived either on 22 Apr 1882 or Aug 1882. (See attachments) One of these documents say that he sailed from Graciosa on an unnamed schooner. Family stories say that he came as a 15 year old stowaway with an older cousin who abandoned him in Boston. I can find no record of ship arrivals in Boston or New Bedford, much less schooners, around those dates. I'm looking for any help or guidance in learning more about how he came here.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigrant Ships
Len, The 3 ports for the Azores are Horta in Faial, Angra in Terceira, and Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel. If you did not live on one of those 3 islands where the ports were located, you had to get there. Since your ancestor was on Graciosa, he had to catch a smaller port to one of the 3 main ports and sail from one of those ports. But when asked where he sailed from, he said Graciosa. That's probably where he caught the smaller boat. He does say he arrived in New Bedford. However, he may have sailed into NY first and may have been counted there and remained on the boat and disembarked in New Bedford. You have to check NY as well. I wouldn't put too much stock in the stowaway story. He would have had to get away with it on both ends (Azores and America). Did you order his naturalization packet? The American passport paperwork has the information for the naturalization packet.
