The text starts from the concept of family network to frame the migratory movement and the installation of a male part of a large family from Abragão, Penafiel, in Brazil, following the previous migration of a cognate branch.In the middle of the19th century, we found several elements of the Mello e Sousa family establishedin the trade of Rio de Janeiro, with close connections at an early stage and later autonomous routes. We seek to follow the backing of these emigrants, signaling family support and commercial transactions on the most relevant individual life histories
