Hi, Joao, Thanks for getting back to me. I guess if I had clicked one more time I would have seen that she was headed for North America. This record allowed me to find Maria da Luz on the Passaportes list and to find her marriage record. I already knew her husband's name but didn't know she had a son named Jose. That's pretty good for a great-aunt that I had very little information on. I've bookmarked the page and will use this tool often.
