Hello, there. A while ago I made a big genealogic research of my family, and since we are brazilians I discover a lot of interesting histories about my foreign roots - although I am still looking for more information especially about the vessels that brought my family here.
From my paternal side I got two branches from different origins, one from Treviso, Italy, and the other one from Croatia, then part of the Yugoslavia. Both of them came to Santos in different vessels at the beggining of the last century. Through our National Archives I could get the passengers list from one of these ships - Les Andes, the one bringing the Italian part of my family - wich you can access by clicking here. You can see the only picture I found from this vessel in the attachments of this post.
Unfortunately I could not be able to find the passenger list from the ship SS Zeelandia, wich brough my croatian relatives (from the little city of Mikleus) to Santos and then to Sao Paulo. You also can see a picture from the ship I assume it's this one on the attachments. The personal do***ents I found says that they landed in Santos at the day December 12th of 1925.
My maternal side came to Brazil from Portugal, specifically from the Madeira Island, in the steamer SS Espagne at the date of August 8th of 1909. I found the passengers list of this voyage and you can access it by here. Also, it was very difficult (there is more than one vessel named Espagne and the one that brought my family is a very simple one, almost forgotten), but I found some pictures of this ship wich you can see here:
Well, this is all I have. It can looks like a lot of information but I really feel that there is so much more to discover - but I have no idea where to look at anymore. If you know somewhere I can search for more informations (as pictures from the steamers, doc***ents, passagengers lists etc.), please answer this topic below, I would be very grateful!
