Comments And Suggestions
SOCIETIES There are a few societies and organizations that may have information that will be valuable to you. You may find it helpful to join one of these societies and support its efforts.
There are a few genealogical societies that emphasize Brazilian research. Most of these societies publish helpful periodicals, transcripts, and compiled genealogies and may have special indexes, collections, and projects. They may publish queries about Brazilian ancestors or maintain a list of members’ research interests. Some specialize in the immigrants to a specific area.
The Instituto Genealógico Brasileiro is actively involved in genealogy and may help you pursue your progenitors. For more information, write to:
