Julie,
I'd be inclined to think that by pronunciation the Graties is Rodrigues.
The father being Manuel Rodrigues Dias. The son Francisco Dias.
I have research a number of Azores families that traveled to Australia and
New Zealand

Thanks to those who had a go at Peek Pike. (I don't know how to reference
all your posts).
In the US 1880 Census of Almeda County, California, some dozen or so
families also claimed to come from Peek Pike (no parish, no island, not
even a country).
Julie,
I think that you need to check out the UPEC membership records (Portuguese
Fraternal Organization)for ANY of those people on that page claiming that
town/village/whatever. That is one of the places that might have the correct
village/island. If you are in CA the books are at the
Julie,
I'm pretty sure they were referring to the island of Pico. My grandparents
apparently said my grandmother was from the Peak or Peek. She was from
Silvieira, Lajes, Pico, Azores.
If you look at 290 on the first page of that census 1-464:
290 PINE, Sabel WifeF M W
I've just found this entry in Australia of a family I've been researching,
believing Francis is my ancestor's sibling. Could someone please help me find
Peekpike? It's come up before as Peak Pike in other records (as being in
Western Isles) yet even more records suggest Francis came from
I wonder if that would be the island Pico, pronnoumced peek-ew (the ew as in
new) and can be translated as pike as in Pico do Solomão, i.e. Solomon's peak
or pike,
John

Hmmm, I'll try a different, non-native speaker angle. I'm looking for any
place in the Azores that starts with a P.
Santa Maria: nothing
Sao Miguel: Pico da Pedra, Ponta Delgada, Ponta Garca, Porto Formoso,
Povoacao
Terceira: Porto Judeu, Praia da Vitoria
Graciosa: Praia
Sao Jorge: nothing
Pico:
One slight correction to Cheri's list -- *Pico do Penedo* in Santa Bárbara
Parish, *Santa Maria*. But I'm not suggested this as a possibility,
since compared to the other islands, relatively few left Santa Maria.
