Matias G. Moinhos de Vilhena, Portugal, 1753
I descend from Matias Gonçalves Moinhos de Vilhena, born in Portugal, who came to Brazil in the XVIII century, looking for gold in Minas Gerais. He was the origin of a very large family, an illustrious one, to which belonged my maternal gradnmother. I know their history and have published a book on them. I woudl like to have information on the history of our European ancestors. Could anyone help me? Sonia Sant'Anna (daughter of Maria José Vilhena de Araujo Andrade)
