Learning about Your Ancestors
Since the beginning of its Portuguese colonization, Brazil has received people from all over the world. The Spanish, Dutch, and French, as well as Italians and Scandinavians were peoples who came to Brazil during the colonial period.
The influence of these different immigration cycles is the diversity and multiplicity of Brazil, which you can see today in the language, beliefs, behavior, customs, religion, folklore, and cuisine of Brazil, as well as in other ways.
