Help Us Identify Missing Immigration Information
Portuguese Heritage in Hawaii

​
If you recognize any of the names on this list, have family stories, documents, ship manifests, or any clues that could help us trace their journey to the Hawaiian Kingdom, please get in touch. Your contribution can help preserve a more complete and accurate record of our shared history.

​Below you will find two documents to assist in our search for important immigration information: (1) a PDF file titled Portuguese Name Variations and Critical Name Changes, and (2) a downloadable Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet’s first column lists individuals for whom we have recently located missing immigration details, while the second column identifies immigrants whose records remain incomplete.
