The Lineage of the Portuguese Conquerors of the 16th century: Long-Term Genealogical Research from the Late Antiquity to the Contemporary Age

The Lineage of the Portuguese Conquerors of the 16th-century: Long-Term Genealogical Research from the Late Antiquity to the Contemporary Age by Rafael Alberto Vilagut focuses on two Portuguese conquerors and peacemakers, also settlers, Capitão Antônio Álvarez Pereira and Alférez (Ensing) Álvaro de Acuña (da Cuhna) who arrived in Costa Rica at the beginning of the 16th century, and with abundant descendants, including my maternal family Vega-Rodríguez. In this NEW ebook, I present 1200 years of family history which I refer to as Long-Term Genealogical Research. If you go back to the time of Charlemagne, forty generations or so, you should get to a generation of a trillion ancestors. That’s about two thousand times more people than existed on Earth when Charlemagne was alive. The only way out of this paradox is to assume that our ancestors are not independent of one another. That is, if you trace their ancestry back, you loop back to a common ancestor. We’re not talking about first-cousin stuff here–more like twentieth-cousin. This means that instead of drawing a tree that fans out exponentially, we need to draw a web-like tapestry. And that is what I wanted to reflect on in this new ebook. Are we all related? Meet your relatives. A family tree of humanity has been constructed using genetic data from thousands of modern and prehistoric people. The tree gives a view of 2 million years of prehistory and evolution. The Lineage of The Portuguese Conquerors of the 16th century and ten more ebooks is regarding history, family, and juvenile fiction. A lot of the time when people build a family tree, they're looking for their famous relatives, as I did. My costarican mother Nydia Vega de Vilagut is the 40th great-granddaughter of Charlemagne who was born on 2 April 747 and died on 28 January 814. I’ll show you step by step. Let’s get to it.
