Cleaning out old e-m's, I found this from 09 from the man who researched in Germany for us.  I googled the name and came up with a few hits, the same could be done for Brazil: "I was in "Auswanderermuseum" (Museum in memory of the emigrants) in Bremerhavenin May this year. This was very interesting. This museum illustrate clearly the hardships of the emigrants from boarding to the arrival in New York from 18th to 20th century. You could see their few goods they took with, and how they slept under deck of the ships, and how and what they ate. It was a hard life. On  Oct 13I came back from a trip to Brazil. There I visited the counterpart , a museum of immigrants that came from Germany to South of Brazil in 1825." Betty FL
