MY FAMILY TREE

All I know about my mothers mother is that her name was Sebastiana, she was from Minas
Gerais state and died when my mother was 8 years old.
My grandfather Lus was Italian and came to Brazil with his parents and siblings when he was
just a little boy; his fathers name was Giovanni. Besides Lus, Giovanni and his wife Dolores
had three other children: Paola, Leonardo and Giulia.
Lus and Sebastiana married each other and had two sons, Joo and Jos, and four daughters,
Clarice, Nair, Alice and Elsia (my mother).
My other grandfather was called Manoel; he was born in Bahia state and his ancestors were
African.
My fathers mother, Raimunda, is the daughter of a Dutch man with a native Brazilian woman.
Raimundas grandparents wanted their son to marry a girl who was from the Netherlands like
themselves, but he ran away to marry my great-grandmother.
Raimunda eventually met Manoel, who was 20 years her elder and a widower with a daughter,
Therezinha. They got married, so Raimunda became Therezinhas stepmother, but she also
gave birth to two other children: Neusa and Manoel Jr. (my father).
Manoel Jr. and Elsia became husband and wife and had three children: Glenda (thats me),
Clayton and Glauco. None of us have children yet, so this story ends here for now, but I really
hope my brothers will give me at least a niece or a nephew.
