Braganza family around Goa, India about 1850 - 1870
« on: Thursday 16 March 17 07:45 GMT (UK) »
Dear fellow researchers,

I am trying to trace family, in particular the parents, of these four siblings (I think Bernard is a sibling).

Januarius Peter John Braganza
Ignatius Loyola Braganza
Caetano Salvador Xavier Braganza
Bernard Braganza

Any information greatly received since I have drawn a blank on Ancestry.
Thank you,
Lorna

Child of a Januarius Braganra (Braganza?) born 1909-

Someone has an online tree which gives father of the 4 siblings as Ignatius Loyola Braganza-

Some of it rather vague but more detail for Janarius' entry-
https://www.geni.com/people/Januarius-Braganza/6000000008480999048

You probably need to be very careful or else could end up attaching the wrong people to your own tree!
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you all for your swift response. I had wondered if Diego was their father. Their mother seems to be nameless so far though. I don't have any more than what's on here, but I do appreciate your time in searching for me. It certainly gives me some more to be getting on with!
