Re: Puerto Rican Immigration To Hawaii
Jomundo: Your grandparents (if they were in the first wave of 56 people from Puerto Rico) landed on Maui. First, they had to travel from NYC to San Francisco and then by boat to Hawaii. In 1901, another group of Puerto Ricans arrived in Hawai'i, probably settling on Kauai. I will keep searching, but here's some kind of dated information on services that I think are probably still provided by the State of Hawai'i which might help you track down your relatives.
There is a good chance that your ancestors never made it to Hawai'i but could have stopped somewhere on the Mainland and settled there, since they did have to travel overland to get to San Francisco. Do you know for sure that they did make it to Hawaii?
