NOTE: I met Dr. Knowlton in Hawaii in 1999 after he had retired from teaching at the University of Hawaii. He told me of his research into the Cape Verde diaspora to the Hawaiian Islands and its unique nature (many of the early Cape Verdean arrivals blended into the local Hawaiian populace, assumed Hawaiian surnames, and no longer claimed their Cape Verdean roots). Because of this it is very difficult to evaluate the true number of Cape Verdean descendants currently living in the Hawaiian Islands. Dr. Knowlton graciously allowed me to see and use his notes. This document is taken directly from Dr. Knowlton's un-proofed research notes. I have saved this information and am sharing it with others as it proved useful in my own research into my Cape Verdean ancestry. I have included several notes from my research at the end of this article.

  “Sol Bright is a great loss to the music world and to his many friends. I was very close to his father, Reverend Andrew Iaukea Bright, who was an authority on the history and legends of Hawaii. Through the old man I got to know Hannah, Andy, and Sol. I often met old Bright and his best friend ‘Blacky’ Reis for long talks at the small traffic island near the Honolulu Advertiser corner of King and Kapiolani – a short walk down to his church and home on Cooke Street. Rev. Andrew Bright would say with a hearty laugh, ‘Well I’m a Hawaiian, but my father was a black-assed popolo’—Portuguese from the port of Bravas, Cabo de Verde Islands—‘who changed his name from Da Brito to Bright’. His pal Blacky Reis looked enough like Andrew to be his brother. For he too was descended from the so-called ‘Black Portuguese’ or…”

One morning… he left Leahi for home. ‘I know I am going to die,’ he said, ‘and I am going to die home, among my own kin folks.’ He died last evening at his home, 1556B Ahiahi street. Born in Kahauiki, this island, September 29. 1881. He was connected with the city police force for 18 years, serving long as a traffic cop.

  “One more colorful person comes to mind, the ‘Hula Cop,’ Peter Jose. He stood daily at Fort and Merchant, sometimes at the bad corner of Emma, School, and Lusitana. As he directed the traffic, he used his hand as in a hula and for that reason he was known as the Hula Cop. He was very friendly and popular.”

  His mother, Malia Pedro Nicholas, widow of Antonio Lawrence Pedro, was born in Honolulu on July 12, 1832, and died there April 28, 1943. See Honolulu Advertiser, 1943 Apr 29, p3, c3. There was more than one “hula cop.” See Espinda (Leonard Michael) under Espinda, Whalers File.

NOTE: There was a curious item dated at Kawailoa, Oahu, on December 22 in O Luso, of December 28, 1912, p. 4 from a 35-year-old reader from Brava:

“Sr. Redactor,

Primeiramente desejo agradecer-lhe pelas boas novidades que tenho lido no seu periodico, especialmente ha uns quatro meses para cá. Confesso ter passado muitas horas entristecido com a sua leitura ainda mal por não saber ler inglès e que O Luso è a unica fonte de informação, não só para mim como para um grande numero dos seus assinantes que tambem só lêem um pouco na lingua da nossa terra.

Antes de mencionar o que motivava esta carta, desejo informar a V. S. que sou natural da ilha da Brava, conto 35 annos de edade, um pouco alto, não muito gordo, sinto-me cheio de vida, não sou jogador (batoteiro) bêbo o meu copo mas não sou beberrão, tenho algum dinheiro na caixa economica n'um banco de Honolulu, tenho trabalho e força para ganhar dinheiro, mas chega agora o momento que começo a sentir a falta de uma companheira.

Penso que sem dizer muito mais que o Sr. Redactor já pode adivinhar a razão de eu lhe escrever mas para não ter duvidas sempre lhe digo: Li no seu jornal que as meninas d'estas ilhas tinham tanta consideração para com a influencia d'O Luso que não so procuravam nas suas columnas objectos como presentes como tambem ‘objectos de amor’ e achando-me só sinho n'este Paraiso, pensei communicar-lhe este facto com a ideia de ver se me arranjava a Eva que tanto perciso para dar alegria ao meu Paraiso domestico.

Na escolha que deixe ao seu bom gosto, não exijo muita formosura nem riqueza, apenas insisto ella ser boa rapariga, nã o muito antiga, que não tenha cabellos loiros, boa governante de casa e mais que todo, fiel no objecto dos seus amores (eu) e ainda mais que não tenha pejo da sua vida anterior.

Incluso mando-lhe o meu retrato (não para publicar) para que mostre ás applicantes e o livro do banco que diz quanto dinheiro está depositado. Logo que encontre uma rapariga que o Sr. Redactor tiver prova ser uma que preencha todas as qualificações, rogo-lhe que me informe immediatamente para eu ir ahi tratar do nosso casamento.

Com todo o respeito,
Sou vosso Crdo. Attvo. Obrdo.
M. G. Solteiro”

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

“The Editor, First I desire to thank you for the good news I have read in your newspaper, especially from about four months ago. I confess having spent many hours saddened by reading it still badly for not knowing how to read English and that O Luso is the only source of information, not only for me but for a great number of those subscribers who also only read a little in the language of our country.

Before mentioning what motivated this letter, I wish to inform you that I am a native of the island of Brava, I am 35 years old, somewhat tall, not very stocky, I feel full of life, I am not a gambler (cheat), I drink my goblet but I am not a drunkard, I have some money in the bank account of a Honolulu bank, I have work and strength to earn money but now arrives the moment in which I am beginning to feel the lack of a female companion.

I think that without saying more that you already can guess the reason for my writing to you but so as not to have any doubts ever I say to you: I read in your paper that the girls of these islands had such consideration for the influence of O Luso that not only did they search in your columns for objects like presents but also ‘objects of love‘ and finding myself all alone in this Paradise, I thought of communicating to you this fact with the idea of seeing if you might arrange for me the Eve that I so much need to give happiness to my domestic Paradise.

In the choice which I leave to your good taste, I do not demand much beauty or wealth, I insist only on her being a good girl, not very old, who does not have blond hair, a good house manager and more than anything, faithful to the object of her love (me) and still more that there be no stain on her prior life.

Enclosed I send to you my portrait (not to be published) for you to show to the applicants and the bank book which tells how much money is on deposit. As son as you find a girl whom you may have fulfilling all the qualifications, I beg you to inform me immediately so that I can go there to arrange for our marriage.

With all respect,
I am your Servant, Attentive, Obliged,
M. G. Bachelor”

* NOTE 2: John & Eulaia Fernandez-Franks Story:

John Francisco de Jesus “Franks” [1846 to 1940] married Eulalia Fernandez [1868 to 1915] in (apx.) 1884 in Honolulu, Hawaii. John & Eulalia Franks had 7 children.

Eulalia Fernandez's father had three wives. Eulalia and her brother were children of his first wife. Her sister, Mary, was the child of a later wife. The Fernandez family came to the Hawaiian Islands from Funchal, Madeira, when Eulalia was very young. She was raised with her brother in Hawaii.

John Francisco and his brother, were born on Brava, Cape Verde Islands. They came to Hawaii together in the early 1880s. There they met the two Fernandez sisters and married them. John was 38, and Eulalia 16, at the time of their marriage. Shortly after the marriages, the two brothers took their brides back to the island of Brava in Cape Verde to introduce them to their relatives. While there, Arcenia was born on March 22, 1885, on Brava. After her birth they travelled to Providence, Rhode Island. While there, Annie was born in 1888 and Francis was born on August 22, 1889. In 1890, John and Eulalia, now aged 44 and 22 respectively, returned to Hawaii, leaving her sister, Mary, and his brother in Providence where they remained. We have an album of pictures of these relatives from a trip that Francis and his wife Carmen made in the 1930s.

After their return to the islands, Louis was born in 1891, Joseph in 1894, Lucina “Lucy” on January 31, 1896, and Frederick “Freddie” in 1898.

John Franks (as he then called himself) worked for the Wilder Steamship Co., Ltd., and later for the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company. Eulalia died in 1915, at age 47. John retired from the sea nine years later, in 1924, at age 78. Eulalia was an accomplished seamstress and ran a small dressmaking and mending business out of her home. Arcenia was also an accomplished seamstress. Louis, and their son-in-law, Tony Gomes, were both engineers aboard ships.

Of this family, Arcenia Gomes, Frank “Francis” Franks, Carmen Franks (Frank's wife), Louis “Louie” Franks, Lucina “Lucy” Franks-Drummond and Elena Ann Stoops (Lucy's first grandchild) are buried in St. Helena, California. Frederick “Freddie” Franks is buried at the Valley of the Temples, Kaneohe, HI. John and Eulalia Franks, Annie Franks-Canha and Aldine Canha-Foley are buried in Makiki Cemetery in Honolulu, Hawaii.

* NOTE 3: John Franks Obituary in the Honolulu Advertiser on March 5, 1940 read:

“John Franks, Kamaaina, Dies At 94 – John Franks, 2207-A Ala Wai, Kamaaina Honolulu resident and father of Francis Franks, who is vice president and treasurer of the Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd., died at the Queen's Hospital at 8:13 a.m. yesterday after a brief illness. Mr. Franks was out and about up to last week.

Following family services at Borthwick's mortuary at 3:30 p.m. yesterday, the body was cremated and the ashes will be buried later in the family plot in Makiki cemetery.

Born in one of the Portuguese islands on June 19, 1846, Mr. Franks was in his ninety-fourth year. He came to Hawaii 56 years ago in 1884, and for many years was connected with the Wilder Steamship Co., Ltd., and later with the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co., Ltd., retiring from the sea 15 years ago. After his retirement, Mr. Franks travelled considerably, making several trips to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mainland United States. Mr. Franks was also formerly a house painting contractor.

Mr. Franks became a widower several years ago. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Lucy Drummond, with the territorial board of education and Mrs. A. J. Gomes, living in Alameda, California; three sons, Frederick Franks, of the Niumalu Hotel; Joseph Franks, with Contractor M.J. Serpa, and Francis Franks, beside 20 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.”
