Glossary of Portuguese genealogical terms
I took as example the German Glossary and also incorporated the glossary the Portugal Project had already on their project page
To get some more clues on linguistical complications of Portuguese, also keep an eye on the messages on the profile. In case you think there are still some terms missing, please drop me a note.
