An additional resource to help in searching for probate and other inheritance records is Linda Lewin's two volume work:<br>
*Lewins, Linda. ''Surprise Heirs''. Vol 1 and 2. Standford, Calif: Standord University Press, 2003. (Vol. 1 and 2 accessable through the Harold B Lee Library at Brigham Young University.)'''<br>'''
Volume 1 covers illegitimacy, patrimonial rights, and legal nationalism in Luso-Brazilian inheritance from 1750-182, and volume 2 covers illegitimacy, inheritance rights, and public power in the formation of Imperial Brazil from 1822-1889. <br>
