1860

Good night

Finally an update! I took my two visits to Beja to go to Destrital Archive, to make a breakthrough in the family tree.
I was well attended by the lady responsible for the consultation room, and she helped me with a lot of words that didn't understand, which I thanks, because I don't have much practice. I sited near an outlet and started the laptop to access the program where I've the tree, My Heritage Tree Building (or something like that ...) and encountered me with a big problem: how do I start ? I began to invent, the lady gave me some help on how to find people, and I got to the year of 1860 thanks to the fact that all this decade have an index.
I admit my weakness, I am no expert in doing family trees, so I don't know how to do it and whom should I put there. I suppose that is a knowledge that I will have to acquire with practice ...
However I did some progress, and I can show you what I have for now. Please excuse me for being write by hand, but it was the best I could do. HERE
In the decade of 1860 some people still lack their grandparents so I couldn't add them to the tree:
- Barbara, born in 1862, daughter of Manoel Pires Ragagelles and Mariana Rita;
- Manoel, born in 1860, son of Manoel Pires Ragagelles and Ritta Marianna / Jesus;
- Maria, born in 1861, daughter of José António Ragagelles and Barbara Maria;
- Maria, born in 1862, daughter of José António Ragagelles and Barbara Maria;
- Ritta, born in 1861, daughter of Antonio da Cruz Ragagelles and Maria Isabel.
(the year of birth may be the right or it's the following year of the birth where the child born, if the kid borned in Dezember, the parents could have registed him only in January).

Facts: almost all of the men are from the village of Serpa, the women often come from a village on the outskirts.

And that's all! : )
