My father also arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia March 1954 on SS Homeland or as
my father called it "the Omlando". He also said he was in the second group of
immigrants to Canada from the Azores. Search this group for SS Homeland and you
will find a discussion about it along with a picture of so
First ship was 1950 and it is documented

Unfortunately, this search is going to be more difficult than you realize--the
first clue to this difficulty is that you're starting off with information that
just doesn't add up.
The first 2 ships to arrive in Canada did so in 1953, so Connie is either
remembering the wrong date, or he wasn't
Maybe try newspapers for the time period. Sometimes there are indexes
online at least in the United States. If you have any idea of the area, try
dead records. Good luck

Oh my that is so incredibly sad :(
I have an idea.
I live in Toronto and I have a contact at the Portuguese consulate. I can
try asking him?
Please give her my contact information.

To simplify things, why isn't Connie doing this? She probably needs a
researcher who can search the newspapers of the time to find out what
happened to dad. Mainly this list works with the older records (before
1911) on this list. Hopefully, a Canadian will know of some 1900 resources
to help.
