When the sugar cane and fruit companies needed laborers to work their plantations in Hawaii, they turned to indentured servitude. In return for 3 years' work on the plantation, a company would pay for the laborer's transportation to Hawaii and provide housing. My great-great-uncle, Francisco Peres Salado, arrived in just that manner. You can see him on line 3 of the S.S. Heliopolis manifesto, along with his nieces Rafaela and Amalia Anaya (later Ponce) on lines 1–2. My great-grandmother, Maria Anaya Ponce, also was aboard but does not appear on this page of the manifest.
Antonio Moreno Hurtado
My name is Antonio Moreno
My name is Antonio Moreno Hurtado.
A member of my family, calle Dolores Moreno Vera , from Cabra, sailed in 1907 for Hawaii.
She was married and became widow there, marrying Juan Gutierrez in Honolulu on 1913, 03, 2 nd.
I have got no news of my family since then.
Could you help me, please?.
