Portuguese Genealogist Master List

HOME PAGE

Click here for background data about the Portuguese Genealogist Master List.

This list was designed with the 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. Your participation is welcomed and, indeed, encouraged.

Click on any of these locations to see a list of the genealogists doing research there:

Questions or comments? Send them to: Masterlist@dholmes.com

SUBMIT YOUR OWN SURNAMES:

To submit your own surnames and locations, send an email to: Make the subject "Masterlist" and include the same kind of information you see in the above entries:

1. Your name & address, Telephone No.

2. E-Mail address, and any links you want to your own home page.

3. Surnames in one village (in alphabetical order)

4. Comments you wish to add. This part is very important to include because it allows others to see more about your people and to decide whether or not to contact you about them.

If you have more than one village, submit the surnames and comments for each and every village. If you have surnames from various lugares (locations) within the same parish, send one submission and group the names into the various lugares. Your entry can be in English and/or Portuguese.

Religious "surnames" (like "de Jesus, da Conceição, do Espirito Santo, etc.") of women are not accepted since they're of no genealogical value. Refer to my series of articles on "Portuguese Naming Traditions" on this website.

Note: I am collecting interesting stories related to your participation in this Portuguese Genealogist Master List. Success stories, great connections to recently discovered cousins, etc. I'll include this type of thing in a future issue of "O Progresso" as a way to promote the Master List more. Please tell everyone about it.
