==Cabo Verde Emigration and Immigration==
<span style="color:DarkViolet">'''"Emigration"''' means moving out of a country. '''"Immigration"''' means moving into a country. </span><br>
Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups.

==Immigration==
*The Cabo Verde archipelago was uninhabited when the '''Portuguese''' landed there in 1456. '''Slaves and Arabs''' from adjacent West Africa were brought to the islands to work on Portuguese plantations. As a result, many Cabo Verdeans, are of mixed ethnicity (mestiços in Portuguese). European ancestors also include '''Italian, and French'''.
*'''Italian seamen''' were granted land by the Portuguese Empire, followed by '''Portuguese settlers, exiles, and Portuguese Jews (lançados) who were victims of the Inquisition'''. Many foreigners from other parts of the world settled in Cabo Verde as their permanent country. Most of them were '''Dutch, French, British, Spanish, (English), Arab and Jewish (from Lebanon and Morocco).'''<ref>"Cabo Verdeans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verdeans, accessed 12 June 2021.</ref>


==Emigration==
General: Lists of those arriving, primarily from West Africa, and/or departing for other destinations within the Portuguese Empire, Europe, or elsewhere. Also, lists of slaves and their destinations.
*Prior to independence in 1975, many thousands of people emigrated from drought-stricken Portuguese Cabo Verde, formerly an overseas province of Portugal. Because these people arrived using their Portuguese passports, they were registered as Portuguese immigrants by the authorities.
*Today, '''more Cabo Verdeans live abroad than in Cabo Verde itself''', with significant emigrant Cabo Verdean communities in '''Brazil and in the United States (102,000 of Cabo Verdeans descent in the U.S., with a major concentration on the New England coast from Providence, Rhode Island, to New Bedford, Massachusetts).'''
*In 2008, Portugal’s National Statistics Institute estimated that there were 68,145 Cabo Verdeans who legally resided in Portugal. This made up "15.7% of all foreign nationals living legally in the country."<ref>"Cabo Verdeans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verdeans, accessed 12 June 2021.</ref>
