Lavrador does not mean landholder in portuguese, it means farmer. No farm activity is to be seen in Labrador at that time, and it seems much more probable that Lavrador was a nickname usually added to the name of João Fernandes. Mistery about an eventually search for a North passage to the East still subsists about João Fernandes Lavrador's memory. Portuguez 21:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Two João Fernandes merged?
I really doubt that the João Fernandes that navigated in Guinea in the 1440's is the same as the one who navigated in Greenland in the 1500's... João Fernandes is a common name in portuguese...Câmara (talk) 20:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1448 at the coast of america?
"first sighted the province Labrador in 1448" => That sounds not right! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.197.103.119 (talk) 13:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
