Yahoo! Found my grandfather's passport information. It verifies what my father always said that he was from Sao Mateus, Graciosa! He left from Angra and came through New York at the age of 11! Settled in Lawrence, Mass. Doesn't look like he traveled with his parents though - so more unanswered

It was my mother's DNA. Francisco Sousa Rosa is my father's father. I found the ship manifest and he is listed as Franco de Sensa Rosa age 11. When looking at writing, I'm almost sure Sensa is Sousa. He was born Oct. 1887, so age fits. Shows leaving from Terceira. So I will search passports

The Dona Maria sailed into New York on Oct. 1, 1899. That must be your ship and the date. However, that ship picked up people from all 3 Azorean ports before making it to New York. However, you may be able to find him on Ancestry as only you know your ancestor's birth date. The ships list will say
