    @Titilola Lousia Natasha Marinho , it sounds like you may benefit from a consultation with FamilySearch research specialists. Go to https://go.oncehub.com/ResearchStrategySession and reserve an appointment with Brazil. Go to 'Latin America' and then 'Brazil.' I hope this helps!

    .

    FYI

    .

    Due to the nature of your 'Question' ...

    .

    I am "Moving" this 'Question' of yours, in the 'Group' being "How to Use FamilySearch Community", in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to the 'Group' being "General Questions", in the Forum; so that, the members of that group can answer/assist you.

    .

    That Group is "Public", which you can join, if you wish.

    .

    As, that 'Group' being "How to Use FamilySearch Community" relates to HOW to USE the "FamilySearch.Community" Forum", rather than for research help/assistance.

    .

    And ...

    .

    As an aside ...

    .

    For starters ...

    .

    I am ALSO "Tagging" this 'Question' of yours in to some specific 'Groups' in the Forum being:

    (1)  "Africa Genealogy Research"; and,

    (2)  "Latin American Genealogy Research" ... [ wich includes, Brazil ]; and,

    [ just in case ... ]

    (3)  "African American Genealogy Research"

    in the hope that, the members of those groups may be able to answer/assist you.

    .

    Those Groups, are ALSO "Public", which you can join, if you wish.
