Please find me some proof that Tom Hanks is of partial Portuguese
descent.  Direct quotes from Tom would be best.

Thanks.

Heh, funny you should ask. My mom has told me the same thing (my
parents are immigrants from the Azores). She says she's heard it in an
interview with him. I've wondered about a direct written quote from
him, too (or a transcript of the interview). Nice genealogy find,
Rainbow!

Thank you for the rating and tip.
