The information for this chart came from the U.S. Immigration Collection at Ancestry.co.uk.
You can find out where the majority of the Cano families were living before
they immigrated to the U.S and learn where to focus your search for foreign records.
Immigration records can tell you an ancestor's name, ship name, port of departure,
port of arrival, and destination.
Did the Canos fight in a war? Military records can tell you a lot
about your ancestors including birthplace, occupation and even physical descriptions.
Starting a family tree at Ancestry is not only the easiest way to organise, preserve
and share your family history, it's also a direct link to missing information about
your roots.
