This family tree was in fact made through an by the efforts and work of 3 cousins, who met through genealogical researches: Ulisses Crespo, Maria Thereza Trevino and me, Luciana Raposo. We started it all based on a publication of the Brazilian Genealogical Collegiate (CBG)by the time of the 400th Rio de Janeiro Anniversary, in 1965. By then, the CBC researched and found all the desdendants of the 18 first families in Rio de Janeiro and we descended from the Botafogo family. Ulisses Crespo was already very interested in genealogy, had made lots of researches and was responsible for getting me hooked - so I decided to find evey member of our family born after 1965. It took me almost two years but I finally got most of them. Meanwhile, Maria Thereza got in the group and she offered to continue researching the Lacaille family in France and in Réunion Islands, going on from lots of information that Carlos Eduardo Barata has published on a book about French Families in Brazil. She also gave a lot of her free time researching and actually found siblings and inlaw trees to our direct lined Lacaille forefathers. So we would really like to thank a enormous list of people all through the net, in many countries, without whose help, we wouldn't be here today, starting our FAMILY TREE: First of all, Ulisses Crespo, my dear cousin who taught us how to understand all those generation lists. Then, the other dear cousin Thereza Trevino who has worked so hard to find all the Lacailles and related families in France. We would also like to thank the many genealogical groups in the internet - both for french and azorean genealogies. we'll eventually post the names of all friends who are experts in this matter in which we are just crawling yet. Our tree was not supposed to have been publised yet but I did it by mistake, trying to learn how to download gedcom files. It's not ready yet and we will be working on it for a long time yet. Thank you all so much! Sincerely Luciana Raposo, Thereza Trevino and Ulisses Crespo
