Correspondence 9/9/00 on Passengers 2 & 3

The town of Guimaraes exists in Portugal.
Guimaraes are descendents to the throne of Portugal.
There is a museum in Cascais, Portugal of a Guimaraes home.
Guimaraes was my Great Grandfather's name and he was born in Brazil.
I know his mother came from Azores to Brazil to have him.  Then she 
came to the states with him.  He is not listed? Were infants listed always?
