[AZORES-Genealogy] Sao Miguel to Brazil before 1875...Passport records or Passenger lists?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Cabral Family Armorial

Hi Matt H, How about letting us know how far you've traced your family and how long you've been working on your Portuguese lines? If you've been at this awhile, you'll know that you DON'T have an unbroken line of Cabrals. It'll change and be another surname. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Re

Fawn U, There was one on Rootsweb. Last I heard, most posts were in the Portuguese language, but I'm sure there are people who speak English. It's not a very active list, though. http://goo.gl/2GMSJk The process in Portugal (or France or Italy or anywhere in Europe) is the same as the Azores.
