Since you know approximately when they immigrated to america, go to the following link and look, record-by-record for them (the group) giving care to the first names and approximate ages. I have found records for a few of my relatives this way. Good luck! http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/passaportes/ I clicked on this site and from there I am lost. I can't find a search engine and when I click on Horta the page came up blank. HELP!!! ps: Although it is not in english, you can figure out the month.

Hello All, I have a question and hope someone can help. Any help is appreciated. My paternal Grandmother: Marie Gertrude Holmes b-5/31/1894 in Sao Jorge (I think?) came to the U.S. she said when she was 7, thru Boston? With her Mother Isabel I Sousa (maiden Enos), her Step Brother Manuel Sousa, brothers: Joseph Holmes b-1884, Frank Peter Holmes b-1882, & John Joseph Holmes b-1887. I can't find them coming into this country. I found a note that said her Father Frank Holmes was dead and her mother may have married again to a (Premo Sousa b-1855 in Sao Jorge). Nothing was ever said about Premo being her step father except a note I found. Her mothers fathers name was Rawlin Enos & his spouse was Beatrice Silivera. I can find nothing on Frank Holmes anywhere here. So think he never came over and may have died in the Azores. I think Isabel may have married him about 1895 in Azores. Premo's parents are listed as Sabstino Sousa and Maria Geneviva. If anyone can direct me or help in any way to let me know what her name may have been in the Azores. I can not speak or read portuguese yet. Any help or hints would be appreciated. Thank you, Vivian (Silva) Christy McCain or Obama?
