The largest population of Portuguese immigrants in the US is in Massachusetts, mostly in Bristol County, with a concentration in the town of New Bedford which was originally a whaling community.  A lot of them came from the Azores.

This is the Bristol County genealogical website:

If you follow the links you will get to a section on people doing Portuguese genealogical research, including several on the island of Faial.

New Bedford → Culture, Churches and Museums → Ethnic Groups → Portuguese → Portuguese Genealogist Master List → Faial
Wiltshire:  Banks, Taylor
Somerset:  Duddridge, Richards, Barnard, Pillinger
Gloucestershire:  Barnard, Marsh, Crossman

Wicklow:  Chapman, Pepper

Thanks Erato.  :D  I'd read some history about the Portuguese in New Bedford, even put a post on the USA board, (no answers  ::) ) so that one looks very interesting.

There seems to be a number of Ennis descendants out there.
I am Anthony Ennis , son of Rex Ennis , grandson of Hilton Ward Ennis , great Grandson of William Henry Ennis ( who I believe had six children )  and G Great grandson of John Innes/ Ennis and Elizabeth Anne Balfour Davis .
I recently retired and my wife and I are visiting Australia and NZ from the USA and have just started on family history. I knew my family had a strong Australian connection but have only recently discovered the NZ connection .
We visited St Paul's Church Auckland yesterday where John was married and may have been buried.

Hi AnthonyE, I've followed your line, it makes us some sort of cousins. ;-) Can I add your name to my tree?
(Elizabeth Anne sure was a very interesting woman.)
