Good afternoon Listers Does anyone know of a list where I can view ships that departed from Portugal or The Azores regions in the 1850's. or can anyone advise of ships that they are aware of departing from this area. I have a relative that was born in Portugal (not sure where in Portugal) who married in 1856 in Victoria Australia. I have been searching for his name as Vienna, but I am now starting to believe that this was not his birth name but possibly just the name he used when he arrived in Australia. I would be very interested in any information at all. Regards Lynne

Hi Lynne, Just wondering if you have joined the Azores List, and the Azores "Groups." There are very helpful people on the List, and there is a lot of very good information in the archives of the List. I just learned about a month ago (from Group??) that there is a site where you can look up "Passport information" (initiating in Azores). There is also a Portugal List which I don't currently belong to. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. Don't forget the "Ellis Island Museum." (My (new) husband's grandparents were a PACHECO / MOURA couple - both coming from Sao Miguel ~1905. They settled in Cambridge, MA, USA, and married here in ~1911.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynne Barnard" <[email protected]> To: "THESHIPSLIST" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 9:56 PM Subject: [TSL] Ships departing from Portugal or the Azores > > > Good afternoon Listers > > > > Does anyone know of a list where I can view ships that departed from > Portugal or The Azores regions in the 1850's. or can anyone advise of > ships > that they are aware of departing from this area. > > > > I have a relative that was born in Portugal (not sure where in Portugal) > who > married in 1856 in Victoria Australia.
