 The family in AI:

"Henriques de Carvalho de Rio Maior" refers to an ancient and prominent family from Rio Maior, Portugal, with historical records of important members such as landowners, religious (Father Luís Henriques de Carvalho) and local figures, with many generations baptized and married in the Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, as documented on the website O Riomaiorense. Although there is not a single person "Henriques de Carvalho", the name identifies a family trunk with several well-known figures at different times, linked to the village of Rio Maior.

 

Who were they:

Members of the Nobility and Landlords: Several individuals with this name were landlords and figures in local high society, such as one who passed away in 1871.
