==Records of Brazilian Emigrants to the United States==
Sometimes the best sources for information about your immigrant ancestor are created in the country he or she emigrated to. Many Brazilians migrated to Florida, New York, Illinois, California, Texas, Washington, and Utah. Emigration from Brazil has occurred mostly in the 20th century.
Immigration records provide the town of origin and other information. To learn about these records, view the state naturalization pages under [[United States Naturalization and Citizenship]].
*'''Passenger lists'''. Most Brazilian immigrants to the United States arrived at the ports of New York and New Orleans. Many of these records have been digitized. See [[United States Emigration and Immigration]] for more information about emigration and immigration records of the United States.
*'''Immigration and Naturalization'''. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has a national index of immigrants who arrived in the United States between 1906 to 1956. For its records, write to:
