I am having trouble finding any information on my great grandfather Manuel Antonio Fernandez /Fernandes) he was born in Portugal, I don't know where , in 1845. He ended up in Hawaii and married Maria Amelia Drummond Gaspar on the big island of Hawaii before 1885 when their first child was born. They had the following children. Olympia, Gertrude, William, Manuel, Mary, John, Isabella. Manuel and Maria lived in Honolulu Hawaii where most of their children were born. at least two children were born in Kau Hawaii- Gertrude and Manuel. I don't know when he died but think it was before 1910, as he was in 1900 census but not in 1910 census with his wife. Maria died in Honolulu Oct. 29, 1946 buried in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii. Marie was born 9-1-1863 Porto Santo, Maderia Portugal. I am really wanting to know when he died in Hawaii and who his parents were. I have looked in ARM and find a few Manuel Fernandes but can't find anything else. Does anyone have any information on this Manuel or his family? I live in Wisconsin and can't go to Hawaii to research this family. thank you very much, Darlene Alling Creuzer

I can't seem to find the Manuel Antonio Fernandes family (b. 1845 or otherwise) in the 1900 Hawaiian census. Since it seems that you have seen it, does it indicate what year Manuel Antonio Fernandes arrived in the Hawaiian Islands? I'm not finding a Manuel Antonio Fernandes among the Madeiran registered Portuguese citizens in Hawaii either, but there are a few Manuel Fernandes. If he did, in fact, come from Madeira then his passport information should be at the ARM site... No family connection, just curious, Pamela -----Original Message----- From: Dar Creuzer <dar.creuzer@gmail.com> To: PRT-MADEIRA <PRT-MADEIRA@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sun, May 6, 2012 9:10 pm Subject: [PT-MADEIRA] Manuel Antonio Fernandes or Fernandez I am having trouble finding any information on my great grandfather Manuel ntonio Fernandez /Fernandes) he was born in Portugal, I don't know where , n 1845.
