Hi Christine I to have been looking for way to find information on family members as my Evangelho and da Costa members to Brazil and I have had family member born and married there but have not had any luck on locating people to help. I was told some time ago there was few people that do research in Rio de Janeiro area. I have e-mail this person several times but have had not reply from them. This persons address is _dal...@orchidstudium.com_ (mailto:dal...@orchidstudium.com) and he provided me some information on church down in Rio, here is that information; This is a link to the church you look for:
_http://www.outeirodagloria.org.br/historia.htm_ (http://www.outeirodagloria.org.br/historia.htm) The record books must be at the archdiocesis archives of Rio de Janeiro. Address: Rua dos Arcos, 54 - Lapa 20230-060 - Rio de Janeiro, RJ - phone 2240-2669 Diretor: Côn. Aroldo da Silva Ribeiro Arquivista: Aloysio de Oliveira Martins Filho de segunda a quarta-feira de 14:00h às 17:00h. _http://www.arquidiocese.org.br/_ (http://www.arquidiocese.org.br/) Again my problem I had is that no one would reply to me after several e-mails and writing and like you I do not speak or write Portuguese either. There is also a Brazilian Genealogy group, but the down side with the group is they write everything in Portuguese, if you like I can provide you the information on there link.
