Looking for family and relatives of my great grandfather Antonio Sayas born in Puerto Rico mid to late 1800s. He is known to have had four sons that were also born in PR and later immigrated to Hawaii in early 1900s. Sons were believed to be Manuel, Miguel, Jose (Joseph)and Juan (John or Johnny) Sayas. It is unknown who Antonio married or when he died or from what province he's from.
What is known of my grand father, Manuel, is from my grand mother and his social security application. On it, he puts "Waianija" as place of birth. But I could not find any such province in PR, which lead me to be its Waianae, a town on Oahu. My grand father never married my grand mother or if he later married someone else. Manuel died in 1962 in Honolulu.
There are cousins of my father, John, that are known to have reside in Hawaii, one of which is Johnny Sayas who was employed by either Dole or Del Monte Pineapple in 1970s.
If any of this sounds familiar, help me fill in the pieces of my missing ancestors. Reply to this message and we'll get in contact. And remember, we are all brothers in Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Hi,

My father is John (Johnny) Sallas (Sayas, changed when he arrived in Hawaii in early 1900's. He was married to Carmen Beauchamp Caravalho (Caraballo, another change in hawaii). My father was retired in 1970 so I do not think he worked at Dole or Del Monte cannery's. But he did work the cane and pineapple fields when he arrived in hawaii and later in Perarl Harbour. My father was born in Juana Diaz we believe in 1886, he had a brother Carlos and a sister Adela. He may also have a son out of wedlock in Puerto Rico and had 7 boys all born in Hawaii. If anything sounds like this could be the same Johnny let me know. email is Jimsallas@aol.com
