Liliana,
I wasn't trying to discourage you, I know how hard it is to research when no
one knows the person you're researching. Asking a lot of good questions in the
wrong places can have the effect of wearing down the most enthusiastic
researcher. You don't want that to happen.
Lets see if
On the New Bedford Whaling site there is a John Harris sailed on the Janus
II 1854 and it says residence Portugal. Could this be him?
I would help to have his birth year.

I can hardly believe it. The birth date is close to what I had thought.
What little I have shows his birthdate as 1857, 1858, and 1860, but 1848 is

THANK YOU! I'll follow up on this. Would you mind posting the website?
Hi Dano--All great questions. I wish I had great answers. He did live in

information that gave me was that he was born on St. Jorge, the Western
Islands. I'll keep at it. I'm determined! Thanks for all your advice.
