Cheri, One last comment…
I recently attended some classes on Ancestry, and that was the instructor’s opinion as well, that Ancestry’s focus is primarily the U.S…and I agree. I don't know if this has been mentioned already regarding the UK section on Ancestry; it does show manifests with Portuguese emigrants coming in from other countries. It's called: UK Incoming Passenger Lists. The manifest that really surprised me was found on the UK Incoming Passenger Lists. I always thought that my father caught a ship from Porto to England and then to Ellis Island, but in fact he went from Porto to River Plate, South America; from there he went to Liverpool, England and then caught a ship from Southampton, England to Ellis Island. He is on a ship’s manifest list arriving in Liverpool. It’s the long way around, but apparently some emigrants took that route.
