passport for David Benarus Seriqui (translation, please).

[Shirl Sereque]

David Seriqui:

1881 departure Madiera, Portugal.  (I take it Madiera was a colony of Portugal?)

And going to Canarias. ( Was that also a colony of Portugal?)

Estado civil. O requerente chegou a Madiera em 20-02-1881, desembarcou doente indo tratar-se no hospital desta cidade como pobre, vindo vivir para esta admnistracão por não ter meios alguna de subsistencia.

The URL is supposedly http://armdigital.arquivo-madeira.org.81/passaportes/detalhe/?reg=351...

(I found it on Ancestry.com)

Many thanks!

That link does not work. Madeira is not one of the Azores. It's a separate autonomous region, comprised of 2 islands (Madeira and Porto Santo).

 Madeira is a region of Portugal , not a colony

This is the direct link to the Arquivo Regional da Madeira  http://www.arquivo-madeira.org/acesso-aos-documentos#/bases

The Canary Islands are a region of Spain. 

The Cape Verde Islands are also a region of Portugal

Which link ? Hers or mine?

The Madeira Archive site is often unaccessable.

Hey Shril,

Although Madeira is not part of the Azores I can help you with the translation:

Madeira was and still is also part of Portugal. Canarias was and still is part of Spain.

Marital Status. The petitioner arrived in Madeira on Feb, 20th, 1881, He landed/disembarked sick and was treated at this city`s hospital as a destitute, living as such because he had no means of subsistence. 

[Ângela Loura]

Cape Verde is not a region of Portugal, not since 1974 or 75. They do speak Portuguese, but they have their own Republic.

- Marital status: single

- He came to Madeira on 22/02/1881

- He arrived sick, and was He was treated at the hospital of this city as poor

- He came to live in this administration for not having any means of subsistence. ('meios alguns' is a negative form, while 'alguns meios' would mean he had something)
