Thank you. Based on family lore, we found my grandfather's aunt's family's 28 June 1893 arrival registration records at Santos, Brazil in the Sao Paolo Museum of Immigration (MI) online. They were listed as farmers. Their ship was the SS Remo (oddly translated as the "Rowing" from the Portuguese "remo".) No MI passenger lists for the ship.
The family returned permanently to Naples between 1894 and 1904, based on vital records. (A son later emigrated to U.S.A.) I know that some immigrants found the work in Brazil undesirable.
Might other archives in Brazil or Naples have the ship's records or other documents related to their journey and experiences? How to search ?

Re: Help finding Santos, Brazil immigration records
I found an arrival record for [full names] dated 28 June 1893 at Santos (Museu da Imigração reference: [ref if you have it]). I’m researching their journey and family’s time in Brazil. Could you please advise whether you hold: ship arrival manifests for SS Remo (or similar), local employment/contract files, or any municipal records from Santos for 1893–1894? Any guidance on search references or fees would be appreciated.
