Hello,
I'm researching two passengers that arrived in Hawaii, 1895, on the SS Braunfels. Their names are Arceirio Pereira Alves and Joao Pereira Alves. The Hawaii Archives index lists them as being from Ponta Delgada, but I haven't found them on the passport list...I even checked Madeira Island. I also search The Immigrant Ancestry website (BYU), but still no luck. I know the ship departed from Germany, then to Oport, Portugal. I can only reason that they may have emigrated from mainland Portugal. Arceirio married Isabel Medeiros in Hawaii, approx 1900.
If anyone has any information on these two individuals, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Aaron, we have a copy of the passenger list for the Braunfels with the two individuals you are looking for...when a ship entered the Honolulu Harbor, the ship's captain had to present a list of his passengers to the harbor master.  Arcenio and Joao Pereira Alves are listed as being from Porto Delgada.  Arcenio married Isabel about 1898.  they had 11 children.  Arcenio died 15 September 1920 in Piihonua, South Hilo, Hawaii.  we can get copies of birth cert for their children born after 1 July 1909 and a copy of Arcenio's death cert.  you can email your mailing address to PGSH...@hotmail.com.  this is our email address for the Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society of Hawaii.  We will print off what we have in our database of 286,000+ Portuguese immigrants and their descendants to Hawaii and get copies of the certificates.   Dan Nelson, president PGHSH
