Good morning/ Good afternoon/ Good night

That, how you all can see, isn't a usual publication to my blog.

Recently I started to research about my family and ancestors. I always wanted to reconnect with my heritage and another relatives.

The history of my family start at Belgium. My great-grandfather, was born at 3 of March of 1852 at Merendree in Belgium and named after his dather August(inus) Lootens.

Approximately at 1880's Augustinus was married with his first wife, with who he dad three childrens( Eduardus, Nelly and Georges Lootens).

16 of July of 1889, Augustinus leave the Europe and go to the South America, originally residing in Argentina. After that, he lefted to Brazil where joined the republican moviment.

In September of 1907( five years after the death of his belgian wife) August married with Theresa de Mathia, a descendant of Italians immigrants, with her he had five children (Olga, Humbertina, Augusto, Cypriano and Alberto Lootens). Augustinus Lootens passed a few months after the birth of his youngest child.

Alberto Lootens married with Emilia Salgado and with her had three childrens(Thereza, Yara and Alberto Jr. Lootens)

Alberto Jr. Lootens married with Maria José Monteiro and with her had three biological children (Rogerio, Tatiana and Augusto Lootens) and one adopted (Nilcemilia Lootens)

Tatiana Lootens had a relationship with Sandro Ramos de Amorim that resulted in me, Brenda Lootens Ramos de Amorim.

I am trying to find and make contact with distant members of my family, if you know that story or know someone that is related or know about please enter on contact with me.

(apologize for the low quality, this is the coat of arms of the Lootens family, one of the few things that my family inherited)
