Colletta, John P. *They Came in Ships*. (Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry Publishing, 1989, 1993, 2002).
My book is the 2002 (3rd edition). Chapter Five: Other Resources and Information of Potential Value (if you go to your public library, look for a chapter with a title like that). Under the heading titled "Crew Lists." This happens to be pages 110-111 in the 3rd edition. If your ancestor "jumped ship," this refers to him being a crew member on a ship. I listed the ports that the Portuguese typically immigrated through. Dr. Colletta also lists Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Seattle. He also briefly discusses stowaways, stating that they were usually discovered at some point. There are no surviving crew lists before the years I listed in my previous email. -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, R. das Tainhas, Achada --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
