My father also arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia March 1954 on SS Homeland or as my father called it "the Omlando". He also said he was in the second group of immigrants to Canada from the Azores. Search this group for SS Homeland and you will find a discussion about it along with a picture of

Maybe try newspapers for the time period. Sometimes there are indexes online at least in the United States. If you have any idea of the area, try dead records. Good luck On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 7:34 AM, Manita M wrote: > Oh my that is so incredibly sad :( > > I have an

The Montreal Gazette has their newspaper on line free of charge. It would take a while but you can search for a possible article that may have mentioned this tragedy. I would also suggest that you find exactly when he died so that you can focus on that time period when researching. Good luck

Unfortunately, this search is going to be more difficult than you realize--the first clue to this difficulty is that you're starting off with information that just doesn't add up. The first 2 ships to arrive in Canada did so in 1953, so Connie is either remembering the wrong date, or he

I am helping Connie Couto search for her father, Jose Ferreira De Couto, who came to Montreal, Canada in March 1954 from Acores/Azores by ship (Sao Miguel) to work on a farm. According to Connie, he came with a friend (she cannot remember his friend’s name) and was on the first of two ships

To simplify things, why isn't Connie doing this? She probably needs a researcher who can search the newspapers of the time to find out what happened to dad. Mainly this list works with the older records (before 1911) on this list. Hopefully, a Canadian will know of some 1900 resources to help.
