Hi all, I wonder if someone an advise me about the process of leaving the Azores circa 1883. I was playing around with museu da emigração, and to my delight found a document referencing my GGGrandparents and 2 of their children just before they left for Hawaii. I got help with translation, and it appears to be more of a certification of their identity and I'm wondering if this was usual or perhaps because they were both illegitimate? The names and dates match what I had from baptism records, and so I wonder also if the adopting families (listed on baptisms) might have been related to the babies? Where and why might their last names have been chosen? Last, I wonder if there are additional documents I should be seeking? Thanks for any advice! I'll add in a link if anyone wants to see the ID doc firsthand-the couple are Marcelino Soares de Almeida and his wife Lucinda Augusta Moniz. For some reason it is titled Manuel, but that was their infant son. http://museuemigracao.cm-ribeiragrande.pt/pesquisa_avancada/manuel-soares-de-almeida/#respond Thank you!
