Hi Group!
In the end part of the 19th century some people from Alentejo came to the
Azores, mainly S. Miguel and Sta. Maria Islands. So, if your searches lead

passage was paid by the man who became my grandfather. We don't think they had
met in the Azores because they were from different areas of
When our family left the Azores, they came over in three groups, by way of
the Hawaiian Kingdom. In the first group were my Great Grandparents and
the older boys, leaving two of the younger boys with relatives. In the
second group, were my Great Grandfather's older brother and his family
