| This website was created with the Portuguese genealogist in
mind. It is for anyone and everyone whose passion has become the search for their Portuguese ancestry no matter where they came from in the former Portuguese territories. Many projects are underway which will be of great interest to anyone concerned with this field of study. Check back from time to time to see the new developments. |

Listen to the podcast which aired on 22 Jan 2019 where I talk about Portuguese Genealogy and DNA testing. We talked for over an hour and it went beyond the limit, so it cuts off before we actually ended it. Hope you enjoy it. Join me on the
2019 Terceira & Graciosa For those who join us, my daughter will produce a video of the trip for a unique combination of travel video, stills and drone footage. You can see her work here, if curious: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-JJa3iNrgqhyRN-an4afPg We'll include an optional hike into the Algar do Carvao in Terceira and the trail Volta à Caldeira - Furna do Enxofre in Graciosa. The rest of the time will be spent at the villages, especially where members of the tour have a personal interest. Since Angra will be our main base, we can include trips to the civil registries in Praia and Angra, plus the archive, if wanted. I will be helping everyone find documents of their ancestors available only by a personal visit to the archive (not online). I proudly present the original Portuguese Genealogist Master List If you're interested in genealogy,
