Unpublished family histories are sometimes held by private individuals in Brazil. These pertain mostly to descendants of prominent families and Brazilian nobility. These individuals may have collected a variety of unpublished records pertaining to their own families. Such materials are generally inaccessible for research unless you can establish contact with the appropriate individuals. | Unpublished family histories are sometimes held by private individuals in Brazil.

==Oral Genealogies== | |||
Oral genealogies are spoken lineages that are common in certain parts of the world. Oral Genealogies can be especially useful in localities where few if any written records exist and in some cultures are the main genealogical tool for researchers. | |||
*For more background information, see [[Oral Genealogies|'''Oral Genealogies'''.]] | |||
There are not many oral genealogies online for Brazil, and therefore, interviewing likely family members of the deceased individuals may be more productive than searching for oral genealogies online. | |||
*For more information on how to do this see [[Creating Oral Histories|'''Creating Oral Histories''']]. | |||
