Cheri,

Thanks for the info!  I’m very interested in visiting the plantation village. 

I’ll see if the Genealogical & Cultural Center is open while we are there so I can visit. I don’t expect to find info on my specific family as they didn’t stay long in HI, although at least one of my Grand-aunts was born there. 

We will be doing other touristy things as well.

Portuguese cultural center in Hawaii

Mary Kent <marym...@gmail.com>: Jul 15 11:22AM -0400 I’m going to be visiting Oahu, the big island, and Kauai in October. I’d like to investigate the Portuguese cultural influences in Hawaii as my grandfather immigrated there (and subsequently to California) from the Azores in the 1880s. I see that there is the Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society of Hawaii in Honolulu, which is open a few days a week. Is that worth a visit if I want to learn more about this history? Are there other places in any of the islands that have historical information about Portuguese immigrants?   Also, are the books you would recommend on this topic?   I am grateful for any help with this.   Mary Kent         Mary Mederios Kent 722 North Overlook Dr. Alexandria, VA 22305   marym...@gmail.com <mailto:marym...@gmail.com>

Cheri Mello <gfsc...@gmail.com>: Jul 15 08:48AM -0700 Hi Mary K,   I went to HI 10 or 12 years ago with a couple of friends. I didn't go to the Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society of Hawaii (my friends wouldn't have been interested and my ancestors did not migrate to HI), but my friends and I did go to a plantation. I just did a search and I'm pretty sure it's this one: http://hawaiiplantationvillage.org/ It has a little bit of Portuguese mentioned there. I remember walking around the Portuguese village there.   We also did the Dole Plantation tour (nothing about Portuguese there), the U.S.S. Arizona, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a luau. None of those has anything to do with Portuguese though. My friends just wanted to see other tourist things.   Have fun, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada
