Hi Everyone: I received the following message via my guest book on my Whitaker Homepage. Since I am not currently doing research in Brazil, I was wondering if someone can help Christiano? If you can, please send your response to him at [email protected] Name: Christiano Whitaker at [email protected] From: Sao Paulo, Brazil Time: 1998-11-16 14:26:57 Comments: Where can I find data on the Whitaker family of Brazil? I would like to know its origins. I've been told that we are descendants of a certain William Whitaker, coffee merchant who established himself in the port city of Santos, circa 1850. True? Thanks to all. Allen A. Whitaker [email protected]
