Subject: CONFEDERATES IN BRIZIL From: Jfhawthorn Date: August 14, 1998 After the end of the Civil War a group of Confederates (Confederados) left Dixie in about 1868 and established a city in Brazil that they named Americanna. The city with a current population of some 160,000 still holds Confederate festivals four or five times a year. I understand that they retained their culture and language and that some 150,000 people there can trace their roots back to the first Rebel settlers. The early settlers and their descendants are buried in Campo Cemetery. Now I have listed what I know, but what I want to know is if someone has a list of the first settlers or any other information that may aid me in my search for a few lost cousins that may have taken the boat trip down....... ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
