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 She combines academic methods with practical experience in reading and interpreting historical documents.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.
We maintain a unique repository with exclusive civil and church (parish) records.
Our team searches 20+ million records and historical images quickly and accurately, allowing us to reliably identify information about your Portuguese ancestors.
Beyond our international database, our genealogists and historians work on site in archives and parish offices across Europe, locating records that are not yet available online.
If our specialist team cannot locate the requested documents, you’ll receive a 100% full refund.

"I chose to make a first appointment with the Atlantic Bridge out of pure empathy. Then it all started to happen and I'm here in Lisbon. I say with peace of mind that I received information, guidance, attention and all support from the team."
Atlantic Bridge fulfilled our dream! Now I live with my family in Lisbon in peace and safety.
"The process for obtaining a residence visa in Portugal is very bureaucratic and thorough. Having the Atlantic Bridge, next to me, made all the difference on that route. I just have to thank Atlantic Bridge and the team that accompanied us during this process."
