Hello Rhonda!
This is the address I mentioned. I would try to make
some few and punctual questions. As I don't know,
if you will write your letter in english or much better
can let translate it to portuguise, I offer you to translate
it to spanish, and return it to you.
No - this CEMLA ( Centro de Migraciones Latinoamericanas )
doesn't exist in Brazil.
It is a Data - bank of the Padres Scalabrinianos,
but remember, it doesn't inform anything else than dates
of arrival, ship, religion, and age of immigrants to Argentina
from 1886 to 1926.-
Good luck!
Cheers, Peter Knuth, Buenos Aires.-
