Roberto,
Thank you for that information. It would be very helpful to me if I could find out the name of the ship that Vitorino and his family took to Brazil in October 1911. I would think there would be a database somewhere of ships and their routes with dates included. But could I search on these data bases that you suggested by a specific date, since I know that already?
