These can be excellent sources of information that can save you valuable time. Because they are compiled from other sources of information, they must be carefully evaluated and verified for accuracy. | |||
If you find your family's surname in any of the sources described in this section, determine whether the entry actually pertains to your family. All persons with the same surname are not necessarily related. Often you will have to do some original research before you can connect your ancestry to families listed in these sources. See also [[Brazil Societies]]. | |||
Additional sources of genealogy for noble families in Brazil are described in [[Brazil Nobility]]. | |||
