The summary of proven facts and hypotheses.

A concrete example

Your father was born in the district of Bragança, your mother near Leiria, and you know almost nothing about their families. I research both lines in parallel, back to your eight great-grandparents, 14 ancestors in all. The PDF booklet sets out, for each of them, what their records say: dates and places of baptism, marriage and death, parents, godparents and witnesses, and the trade when the priest noted it (lavrador, moleiro, tecedeira…).

Typical case, to illustrate the process.

The records I search look like this: a page of baptisms from 1694, in Castelo (Mação).

Register of baptisms, 1694, parish of Castelo (Mação), from my own research. Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo.

And here is the family tree you receive at the end (typical case, shown in French; yours will be in English):
