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 Pero families were living before

port of arrival, and destination.
Did the Peros fight in a war? Military records can tell you a lot
about your ancestors including birthplace, occupation and even physical descriptions.
