Hi Leonor, I did a lot of inventory work last summer there.
As Philippe said, it's an inventory of their stuff. They do list children, grands, greats. And it was kind of interesting to see what they had for time period too. Every time I requested an inventory, they told me that they are private and not to be posted on the Internet (they saw me taking pictures with my cell phone). I said OK. I understand that some of the inventories (say the one from 1920s) could name a kid who is alive today (they'd be pushing 100), but the ones from the 1800s would not have anyone alive. So all I could do is honor their request because I want continued access to that record set and so do many genealogists. Portugal is part of the European Union and they have the newer General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR). Many countries are becoming concerned about the privacy of their citizens so they are creating rules and regulations for privacy. It's probably why they asked me not to post anything on the Internet. The GDPR is just a little over a year old, so I'm hoping as time goes on, they will adjust for things like older historical records, where no one alive today is mentioned in them.
