"Anuário"
in name only, these are the first two volumes of the third
and completely revised version to be published of what is
roughly the equivalent of an Almanach de
Gotha or
Berke's
Peerage for Portugal.
This work gives the origin of the noble families of
Portugal, followed by the current holder of the title or
head of family, dates of birth, marriage, death, and
information on the extended family; hence very useful for
anyone interested in genealogical research on Portuguese
families. The first volume lists the House of Bragança,
followed by Dukes, Marqueses, Counts, Viscounts and Barons
in alphabetical order of the title. The second volume lists
other noble families, in alphabetical order, letters "A"
through "L". The first volume is out-of-print. We have a
single set available.

Continuation
of the third version of this so-called but valuable
"anuário". Volume III lists noble families without titles
in alphabetical order, letters "M" to "O". Volume IV lists
letters "P" to "R". Despite the ca. 20 year interval since
the publication of the first two volumes by another
publisher, the format of these volumes is identical to that
of the earlier ones.
