Ok, then it's family source of info.The only way you can find out for sure (well, not necessarily) is through church records.If you know where the Barros family originates from, then begin searching there.The LDS (Church of Latter Day Saints) have good records of the phils.I traced mine up to 1843 so you might be able to do the same.I have seen records where they specifically name where the person was from, but it depends on who's writing the records.I had a cousin (back in the 1800s) who married someone from Mallorca and they were all listed as Mestizo Felipino or Felipino Europeo, etc.If your ancestor was actually a Portuguese versus a Spaniard, then he might have been listed as that.However, if he never married into the family you might not be able to find proof b/c his name will not be listed in the records.Although you probably could keep an eye out for burial records of a Portuguese person or any European for that matter.
During the Manila-Acapulco trade the amount of ships was limited to one per year and the journey was a long one.I don't remember off hand what year that ended, you could do a search on that via the net.I believe the LDS also has records of various emigration and immigration records, but I can't remember off hand.So when you find out who that Portg. ancestor was, what his surname was, then you can find out more.I never heard of Portuguese people going to the Phils.If anything, Africa, Brazil and the Portg. islands (where my ancestors came from) would be the places these people would immigrate to.
