Timeline of Portuguese History

I just ran across this timeline today. I found it interesting. It does state "This is an incomplete list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries."  To me, the key words are 'reliably sourced'.  

As far as I can see, this is a well researched and accurate timeline.


Unfortunately, there is a ton of misinformation around about the history of the Portuguese and the mixed bloods of Southern Appalachia, and the 'theories' of their constructed connection. For what ever reason, 99 % of that misinformation comes from people who are neither descendents of the Portuguese or the Southern Appalachian Mixed Bloods.

    Dear Ms Fyffe,
    What a pleasant surprise to hear from someone from Garrison. I'll be sure and give John a call. I'd love to contact Margie Valentine too. I have lots of documents and information on our Collins line, which I'd be more than glad to share.
    Thanks for your comment, Carolyn, you made my day.
