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]].

Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. Most of the information on the Internet is compiled from secondary sources and will need to be verified, but it may identify useful clues and new sources to search. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial online services help family history researchers:

The term genealogy is used in this Wiki article and in the FamilySearch Catalog to describe a variety of records containing family information gathered by individuals, other researchers, societies, or archives.

Genealogies include:

  • Family Trees/Pedigree charts
  • Compiled information on families
  • Correspondence
  • Ancestor lists
  • Research files
  • Record abstracts
  • Collections of original or copied documents.

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.
