Portuguese Citizenship Applications
I assist clients with a reasonable chance of obtaining Portuguese citizenship. I am not currently taking clients who are not already in the pipeline. My services include:
- Researching Sephardic ancestry
- Organising genealogical documents
- Preparing application packages
While past performance has been positive, success cannot be guaranteed for situations beyond our control.
Before Contacting Me
I receive many requests every week and can no longer provide free individual help. If you would like my personal assistance:
- First check the resources on this website to see if your question is already answered.
- If you still need direct help, please send $50 via PayPalMe: paypal.me/sephardicgenealogy.
- After payment, email me at [email protected] with:
- The Sephardic families you are researching
- Known information about your ancestors (names, dates, locations)
- Your goals for the research
For this fee you will receive either:
- A 20-minute Zoom consultation, or
- A written reply by email to your query.
If I feel there is no need to hire a Sephardic genealogist, I will always tell you during the consultation and – as best I can – direct you towards better alternatives.
Recent Ancestry in Spain, Portugal or Latin America?
If you have recent Spanish, Portuguese or Latin American ancestry, then you do not need an expert on the Sephardim. Consider first consulting a genealogist specialising in in the country or region where your earliest known ancestors lived. If you want a professional genealogist, your local genealogical society should be able to advise. I specialise in researching ancestry in the Sephardic community.
