Can someone tell me anything about Rio Preto. I just found out my great great grandfather went there in 1859 and is probably buried there. It is in the same region as Ouro Preto a place I have interest seeing some day.

São Jose do Rio Preto is not really in the same area of Ouro Preto, the first is a city of 500.000 people in the north of São Paulo state 442 km far from São Paulo city and Ouro Preto is a city in Minas Gerais. The distance among both cities is 750 km.

Not that one the one in Minas Gerais is the one I'm referring to.
Translated from the wiki article quoted"The municipality has several waterfalls, rivers and mountains, and the famous farms of the time of the Empire remain to this day. There are still unexplored places, among them the grotto of the funnel, in an area covered with fine white sand. Its carnival is very famous, considered the best of the whole region. 6]" End quote

No problem thanks anyway. It's a small place about 5,000 people live there now. I was wondering if someone has been there to see it in person or heard about it from someone who has been there I don't trust descriptions from the tourism industry.

It is a border city of Minas Gerais and Rio de Jainero not so far from Rio de Janeiro city if you are over there in Rio I think would worth a day trip to meet your cousins! Probably many people in the city have the same blood than your!
In this kind of small city if you start a conversation with the locals in some pub or restaurants about you great-granparents who started the city there you will get many friends
