Viana was my grandmother's maiden name. Now as far as I know she was born in Cabo Frio Brazil in 1908. The family eventually moved to Niteroi in Rio. I'm trying to track more information on her branch of the family tree. I know that she was one of 5 children and that their names all started with the letter L, (I found this very odd). I'll be adding their names later. She went onto marry a Jose Medina Guttierez. And they had my mother Neuza and 4 other children. I really want to track down information from earlier records pre 1800's. I have family through my great aunts and uncles that I know nothing of. Their is also I believe a Belgium line I came across this and found it really interesting.
