These look similar to the Lomba da Maia Sousa Bonito's, yet they do not match. Do you have any dates or time lines? Is this the same Manuel de sousa Bonito cc Maria Isabel, Ponta Garca, Aug 19- 1819; Their descendants used Bonito in Lomba da Maia. JR On Monday, November 25, 2019 at 9:39:44 PM

No. You have to figure out which island and freguesia your ancestor came from. It takes a bit of time and effort. Researching an immigrant ancestor is not easy. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada

Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) has allowed for volunteer group administrators to oversee projects. One was created for the Azores and I over see it. We have 2200-2300 members. Because we pool our DNA in a project it allows for us admins to observe patterns and clusters. Once we get the clusters going, we

The 1850s emigration out of the Azores had no photos or portraits. You have a name and a general date. You need a place. Unless another Australian has an idea, you'll have to turn to DNA and see where your matches are researching. The Azores DNA Project on Family Tree DNA is clustering up nicely

Hi Anthony, I did not see a Jose Silva or Silveira on the Water Lily that went to Australia in 1853 (I think). You'll have to use Australian sources to track him there, see if he naturalized, if his obituary said anything, etc. I'm sure those in Australia who have traced their Azorean ancestor
