Looking for information/family of Angelini 1901 Brasil
We just discovered that my husband's grandfather, Arduino Angelini was born in Brasil. His birthdate was 26 May 1901. We only have a record of him emmigrating from the town of Pregasina (Lake Garda region), Italy via Genoa in September 1923.
I noticed on the ship's manifest that there were six other Italians who were born in Brasil emmigrating from Italy to the United States.
I am curious about emmigration from Italy to Brasil in the late 1800's. What drew them to Brasil. Was there a specific place in Brasil where Italians tended to live? A specific type of work? Farming?
Does anyone know how to get birth or family records from Brasil?
