Família Cristina de Portugal ao Rio Grande do Sul

Description:

In 1940, immigration to Brazil was still very large. Antônio Coelho Cristina, a young Portuguese, brave and adventurous, also wanted to go out looking for a better life. He was already married, to a small child and to the pregnant wife of the second, when he left for Brazilian lands. Very hard working, he walked for six years through Brazil and Argentina, until he settled in Rio Grande do Sul. Times later, he called for his wife and kids. The wife Maria sold everything they had and came with her children meeting her husband. Here they started life again with a lot of effort, and they had one more daughter. The couple always taught their children the way to good, honesty, honor, respect and love.
