Araujo is a very common name in northern Portugal.My grandfather was Antonio Araujo from Arcos de Valdevez, in the district of Viana do Castelo, also in the province of Minho. The current mayor there is also an Araujo ( not related).
There are several Araujos on passenger lists who came through Ellis Island - check ellisisland.org. You may find your relatives listed!
Good luck!!
