Visitors’ Comments

Comentários dos visitantes

O site original continha informações sobre patrimônio e árvores genealógicas, antes de ser dividido em seções públicas e restritas. Estes são comentários – invariavelmente favoráveis – oferecidos por visitantes espontaneamente. Eles revelam o interesse e o orgulho que as pessoas têm por sua herança macaense e sua paixão por preservar a cultura. É particularmente gratificante saber de casos em que o site permitiu a descoberta de membros até então desconhecidos de uma família e a união familiar pela primeira vez. Em alguns casos, certos detalhes foram omitidos para preservar o anonimato dos autores.

The original website contained both heritage and family tree information, before it was split into public and restricted sites. These are comments – invariably favourable – offered by visitors without prompting. They reveal the interest and pride that people have in their Macanese heritage and their passion for preserving the culture.

It is particularly pleasing to learn of cases where the website allowed previously unknown members of a family to be discovered and the family to be united for the first time.

In some cases some details were omitted to preserve the anonymity of the authors.
