Glad to help if I can, Selma. I grew up speaking Portuguese at home, and only got introduced to English when I was 10. But I have been out of Goa for almost 50 years now (almost 40 of them in the US), with limited opportunities to use Portuguese except in telephone conversations with relatives, and chatting with Brazilian students (have only had one Portuguese student at Cornell but there are always at least a handful of Brazilian students each year). If the translation is beyond me, I will let you know. Julia

I am at the moment cataloguing them, and making a list of volunteers. And should be sending out pages by next week.

My reading of Portuguese is functional but not advanced. So of those I will need at least 700 pages translated. If you know of any Portuguese translator please do ask them to email me at [email protected] Must be willing to work at a very reasonable per page rate. Other than that, if anyone here can translate a page of two, please do also email me. Even if I can get a 100 of the pages translated free of cost, it will be a huge relief for me. These are documents spanning back to 1800s but both the writing and the scanned pages are not too difficult to decipher. Many, many thanks and I look forward to many people offering to help with this important project of a lung of Goan history entirely undocumented, and without any secondary sources, except for a few books I myself have written on it. Even if you can commit to just one page, it will help a lot, but if you can commit to 3-4 pages, that would be great.
