This place

Where to begin

You know your family came from Águas Vermelhas. Here is the order I would work in, cheapest and easiest first — and what to do when that runs out.

  1. When you run out — and you will

    Everything above is what this atlas knows. It is not everything there is. Nine places in ten on this map have never been surveyed by anybody, so a gap here is usually our silence rather than the record's absence.

    Do this: write to the archive named in the era table for your year, even if we hold nothing for it. Then tell us what you found — a gap somebody has personally closed is the most useful thing a stranger can give this map.

Whose archive this ground was

Not yet mapped. The record regions cover Istria, the Kvarner, Carnia and Dalmatia so far, and Águas Vermelhas is outside them. That is a gap in this map rather than a gap in the record — and the most useful thing anyone could fill in.

No volumes recorded here yet.

2 volumes catalogued here

The level below «a collection covers this place»: which book, for which years, and the link that opens its images. From FamilySearch's own catalogue. Nobody here has opened any of them. You can, though — mark the pages you have searched on any row below and this browser will remember where you stopped.

National sources for Brazil, unverified

From Wikidata, CC0 — the national archive and the national library where the country has one. Nobody here has opened these. The link answered when it was asked and that is the whole of what this map knows about them. They are listed because a country with no named source at all is the worse answer: 199 of the 237 countries here had nothing but the worldwide services, which cover everywhere and therefore say nothing about anywhere.

The sources for Brazil

National and regional sources that cover this ground whether or not anybody has walked it here — which makes them the answer, not the consolation, for a place with no volumes recorded on it.

  • Arquivo Nacional (Brasil) Nobody has walked this one yet Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    Brazil's national archive. Civil registration in Brazil is held by cartórios and the states rather than here, so this is the top of the system rather than where a birth record sits. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • Arquivo Público do Estado do Espírito Santo Nobody has walked this one yet Vitória, Brazil
    Espírito Santo's state archive, a small state with a large Italian and Pomeranian settlement history. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • Arquivo Público do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul Nobody has walked this one yet Porto Alegre, Brazil
    Rio Grande do Sul's state archive — German and Italian colony records, and the civil registration of the far south. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo Nobody has walked this one yet São Paulo, Brazil
    São Paulo's state archive — the state that took the largest share of Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese emigration to Brazil, and holds the immigration records that go with it. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • Arquivo Público Mineiro Nobody has walked this one yet Belo Horizonte, Brazil
    Minas Gerais' state archive, with its own online catalogue. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • Fundação Pedro Calmon — Arquivo Público do Estado da Bahia Nobody has walked this one yet Salvador, Brazil
    Bahia's state archive, under the foundation that runs it — which is the address that answers. Harvested and its address opened, nothing more: what it holds, what is online and what it costs to look are unchecked here.
  • SIAN — Sistema de Informações do Arquivo Nacional An index only — no images Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    The Arquivo Nacional's own catalogue, and the thing worth linking rather than the institution's front page: it is where a fonds is looked up. An index, not images.

Sources that cover everywhere

Not about Brazil in particular — these reach most of the world, which includes here. They are listed after the local sources because a body that holds this ground's own paper is a better first stop than one that holds a little of everywhere's. Worth knowing they exist all the same.

  • Internet Archive Images, free, no account
    Full-text search across millions of digitised books, including parish histories, nobiliaries and local monographs that name ordinary people.
  • Arolsen Archives Images, free, no account
    The former International Tracing Service. Concentration camp, forced labour and displaced-persons records for some seventeen and a half million people, free and fully indexed.
  • BillionGraves Images, free, no account
    GPS-tagged headstone photographs. Smaller than Find a Grave but its coordinates are per-stone, which Find a Grave's often are not.
  • Find a Grave Images, free, no account
    Volunteer-photographed headstones and cemetery indexes, worldwide, with very uneven coverage. Owned by Ancestry but free to read.
  • WikiTree Images, free, no account
    A free, single shared tree with an unusually strong sourcing culture. Not a record source.
  • Yad Vashem — Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names Images, free, no account
    Names and testimony pages for victims of the Shoah, free.
  • FamilySearch Images, free, account needed
    The largest free collection of record images and indexes in the world. A free account is required, and a minority of images are restricted to Family History Centres and affiliate libraries.
  • Geni Images, free, account needed
    One shared world tree. Useful for finding other researchers on the same line; not a record source, and its assertions are only as good as their citations.
  • JewishGen Images, free, account needed
    The central Jewish genealogy resource — town-level KehilaLinks, burial and Holocaust databases, and revision lists for eastern Europe.
  • Geneanet Partly free, partly paid
    Member-contributed trees and transcriptions, strongest in France. Much is free; a Premium tier gates some search and images.
  • Ancestry Images, behind a paywall
    The largest commercial collection. Strong on the English-speaking world, censuses and immigration; weak on continental parish registers.
  • MyHeritage Images, behind a paywall
    Commercial, with a large tree network and good European newspaper and directory coverage. Search is free; opening a record is not.

FamilySearch collections that reach here

A collection is a claim over an area, not a book standing in this town — so these are ranked by how specifically they reach Águas Vermelhas. A free account is needed to open the images, and some are restricted to a Family History Centre.

Worth searching, and worth knowing it is a national index rather than a local one.
