Let me ask you two questions: do you have Portuguese and Spanish experts
for Spanish/Portuguese medieval genealogies? And, also, are you
interested in the problems we deal with in that area besides those that
affect lines of descent into the US?

I really want to precisely know which is your scope. I have no problems
with my genealogy publications in Brazil, and some of my work also
appears (or is commented) in Portugal. I frankly don't know if my work is
of interest to American readers in the field - but perhaps TAG (of which
I have never, unfortunately, seen an issue) is much more cosmopolitic
than it appears to me right now.

Thanks in advance for your comments,
