Good morning Tish and Carolyn,
The ship manifests from Brazil that you find on Family Search database are *only* from *Bahia (1855 – 1964) and São Paulo (1960 – 1982).* These records are only images, no indexing until the moment. So if you fit those dates, for those two places, you need to open one by one and read them to find your ancestor. The ship manifests from Rio de Janeiro are digitized but they are not on Family Search database. You will have to search on the National Archives from Brazil to find the one you are looking for. Links for those databases are on my blog, under *Researching in Brazil*, I cut and pasted below: *http://myportuguesegen.blogspot.com/p/researching-in-brazil_4.html <http://myportuguesegen.blogspot.com/p/researching-in-brazil_4.html>* The first link you will find when you open the link above is the one for the Family Search database, in Brazil. You will need to scroll this page, at Family Search, in order to find the appropriate link to what you are looking for. There are several different links for different states. Going back to *My Portuguese Gen *link, above, I added, on this same link/page, web addresses to: *Rio de Janeiro state*, including a List of steamers and passengers manifests that arrived in* Rio de Janeiro Port between 1805 – 1921. *This is a partial database, constantly updated by the Brazilian National Archives, they are not indexed, they are images in a pdf format. You need to have at least a timeframe to research because this is a huge database with thousands of names. and to *São Paulo State* where I include links to the museum of immigration database, with ships lists, hospedarias and photos. I try to simplify the search as much as possible separating them by state and I display specific links for what you can research on those databases. If you have any other questions related, please let me know. I may take a few days to answer, but I will answer, just too busy at work.
