Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigration) or coming into (immigration) a country.<br>


Emigration and immigration records can help you determine where in Brazil your ancestor came from as well as where she or he came from prior to settling in Brazil. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, ports of emigration, and occasionally places of origin or birthplaces. If you do not find your ancestor, you may find emigration information on your ancestor’s neighbors. People often emigrated with neighbors and friends from the same communities, and by finding the neighbor’s town of origin, you may locate your ancestor in the same place.
==How to Find the Records==
 
===Online Records===
There are not many immigration records for Brazil prior to 1808, as Portuguese settlers were not considered immigrants.
