Author: Isabella Baltar
Go to MyPortugueseGen.blogspot.com Click on the tab Researching in Brazil (see below)
On this page you will see several links, click on the List of Steamers and Passengers Manifests (see below)
The page from Arquivo Nacional (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) will open in another window and you will see their database containing the list of ship manifests starting in 1875, like below.
The red arrow below, under Título (Name), points to the name of the ship and you read: ‘Relação de passageiros do vapor Camões’, which means, Passengers list of the steamer Camões.
On the left side, there is an icon looking like magnifier,
click on it.
Another window will open on your browser and will look like below, click on Arquivo Digital.
Again, another window will open, click on the magnifier once more and the last window will open with the passenger list in a pdf file format. Make sure to allow your browser to accept pop-ups from the an.gov.br, otherwise you are not going to be able to see the document.
It will look like below, just scroll down to read the pages.
Let me know if you succeed! Isabella Baltar – myportuguesegen.blogspot.com
