Manuel, Francisco Nicolau from Azores

I am looking for my great grandfather, Francisco NICOLAU (also spelled NICOLAUS) born in the Azores May 1842. I don't know which island. His father is Manuel NICOLAU; his mother is Sabastiana CONSTANTINA. He immigrated to New York about 1862 and lived in Brooklyn, NY. He was a sailor. He married Mary Pettit in 1866 in Brooklyn, NY. If anyone knows about the surnames NICOLAU or CONSTANTINA, or if the surname NICOLAU or CONSTANTINA is commonly found on any specific island, I would like to know. This would give me a place in the Azores where I could begin to research the records. Thank you, Patricia

I am looking for ancestors of my grandfather, Thomas Nicolaus b. 6 Nov 1882 in Hassag, Romania (They lived in a Dresden German colony according to family lore) and my grandmother Maria Sander Nicolaus, b. 12 Feb 1891 They came over from Bremen and arrived at Ellis Island on May 23, 1907. I know that my grandmother had a brother in Chicago named John Sander who played the organ and piano.

Thank you for any help.
