Does anyone know how to find out information on where and when our ancestors arrived in the US from Portugal? In the 1800's the only way of passage was via a ship. Many Portuguese who settled in San Benito County came from the Azore Islands such as Pico and Faial. My great-grandfather came here in 1860 from Pico. Where could I find out what ship he came on, date of arrival and port of entry? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Cynthia C.
