My Portuguese Family Tree

My maternal grandfather's family comes from the Diocese
(later District) of Guarda. They mostly hail from the village
of Freixo da Serra, some 10km west of the district seat.
Unfortunately, I still know little about them, but I am
working diligently to rectify the situation.
Since at least the mid 18th century, my maternal
grandmother's family has lived in and near Germil, a
village in the Serra da Estrella mountains of the
Diocese/District of Viseu.
I have relatives living in this village today.
And just in case you're wondering, my paternal line is German
(hence my last name). But that's another story, for another time,
and belongs on another genealogy page.

So, here goes. It's time for you to meet my Portuguese relatives,
past and present. So click on the button below to step right on
through and begin your tour of my past.


The tour begins here. But you don't have
to take it, if you
don't want to.
