I’m using Family Search. I can’t find them leaving the Azores either. I’m
beginning to think Jesse came somehow illegally but his wife Maria ( what
else?) came a year or two later with my Uncle Manuel (you probably could guess)
around 1902 or as late as 1904 but not later based on my uncles
Gordon,
I don't know where you are searching. Ancestry? My Heritage? Fold 3? Or at
your local Family History Center?
Did you find your ancestor LEAVING the Azores too? Cheri

Thanks this is all very helpful. How do I search these ports of call? Do I
search”Boston 1902 ship passenger lists from AZORES”?
I have been looking for Jacinto and Jacintho.

Hola Gordon,
Boston, Massachusetts,

Hi Gordon,
The main ports on the east coast of America for Portuguese immigration are:
Providence, Boston, New Bedford, and New York. Gloucester was a port from
1906-1943.
It was up to the ship captain to decided where his passengers would be
counted if he stopped at 2 ports. I have one ancestor

I have the same story as Rosemary…..searched for my last grandfather to arrive
(1913) for years in New York…and then Boston and Philadelphia too…….and THEN i
saw a sticker on the wooden box that held his viola, carried from the
Azores……and saw part of the word Providence on that sticker…..At
Gordon, my maternal grandfather and his mother and sisters arrived in New
Bedford in 1901. My father and his mother and siblings arrived in Boston in
1920. My maternal grandmother and her mother were the only ones in my
family to enter through Ellis Island. Immigrants who landed in New York
prior
Both my maternal grandparents from Terceira to Providence RI

Gordon,
I searched for my grandfather and his family for years coming in to NY. I
knew the ship, the Madonna, the date too and could not find them on the
ship manifest. Then when Ellis Island was being remodeled, I asked my Tia
(grandpa's sis) if she remembered seeing the Statue of Liberty and
