Beninese extrait: which one to request
The Beninese choice: the extrait as the standard, the supplétif for the unregistered, and — the house's treasure — the AGUDÁ HOLDINGS for families with a Brazilian surname: the line that crossed the Atlantic twice, documented on both sides.
The formats
- The extrait de naissance — the Francophone standard.
- The jugement supplétif — the commonplace one, fully valid.
- The agudá holdings — the Brazilian roots of Ouidah.
The typical package
Extrait plus chain plus French sworn translation. The NPI noted; the agudá search when the family wants it — the binational dossier is assembled from both sides.
Frequently asked questions
de Souza, Paraíso, de Medeiros — where do they come from?+
From the nineteenth-century returnees from Brazil — the agudás built Ouidah and Porto-Novo with Bahian surnames. The line is documented in the community's churches and holdings.
What is a binational dossier for?+
Memory, citizenships, ties — a family that documents itself on both sides of the Atlantic closes a two-century circle. The most beautiful corridor in the house.
