Highly Qualified Historians

Our history and genealogy team is composed of specialists focused on European migration, with solid experience working in archives in Portugal, Spain, Brazil and other countries. Every day we deal with civil, parish and consular records to reconstruct family journeys and locate the key documents needed for citizenship, visas and legal proof of ancestry.


One of the leading specialists on our team is Ariane Müller Brignol, a professional genealogist with dedicated training in Portuguese immigration to Brazil, historical research and paleography, including courses at the Museum of Immigration of the State of São Paulo. She combines academic methods with practical experience in reading and interpreting historical documents.

Our mission is to analyse and contextualize each record with technical rigor and clear communication. By pairing traditional archival research with modern tools for digitisation and data organisation, we ensure that every client receives a well-documented, reliable and easy-to-understand reconstruction of their family history.

Portuguese Citizenship Requirements & Application


The requirements and type of application depend upon which path you choose to take for Portuguese citizenship. There are several different pathways to getting Portuguese citizenship, depending on your specific circumstances. Most of them are  based on the principle of jus sanguinis or ‘right of blood’ (which is what Portuguese nationality law is based on). In terms of the amount of effort required on your part, attribution routes, such as having a Portuguese parent or grandparent, are easier than acquisition routes, such as living in Portugal for five years.
