Dear Sir,
Thank you for the very thorough reply and description foe finding Italian family embers traveling into and out of Brazil. There will be several challenges before suceeding, just establishing the correct name of the person, but trail and error may produce results.

Do records exist for emigration from Italy to Brazil in about 1870 to 1880? Travel between these area's were done freely. Because of other Civil Records did the government keep track of those immigrating?
