Senhores de Engenho, XIX century pics (Northeast Brazil)

[curupira]

These people were the sugar plantation owners, the Senhores de Engenho (the descendants of the early settlers of Northeast Brazil, who established themselves in the rural parts of coastal Northeast, producing sugar and occupying the land).

A collection of rare and valuable pics from the XIX pics covering some of these people (they are mainly from Pernambuco and neighbouring states in Northeast Brazil)

The names under the photos are not the names of the peoples depicted but of the photographers (the names of the peoples depicted were almost always of luso-brazilian origins)

José Ermirio de Moraes, from the interior of Pernambuco state, founder of the Votorantim Group, one of the most important industrial groups from Brazil:


O ímpeto guerreiro, que o fez construir um dos maiores impérios industriais do País, associado à fabricação de cimento, alumínio, ferro, aço e zinco, se forjou na vida de provações do menino nascido no solo seco do sertão pernambucano. José Ermírio de Moraes, que desembarcou neste mundo a 21 de janeiro de 1890, pertencia a uma típica família da aristocracia rural do Nordeste. O pai, Ermírio Barroso de Moraes, era um senhor de engenho já decadente ao morrer - o garoto tinha apenas dois anos de idade. A mãe, Francisca Jesuína Pessoa de Albuquerque, ou dona Chiquinha, como todos a chamavam, passou a administrar os negócios familiares na pequena Nazaré da Mata, a 60 quilômetros do Recife.

Its model of corporate governance assures the Ermírio Morais family strategic controlling positions in the Executive Board, the Brazilian businessman Antônio Ermírio de Moraes was the representative of the family in company, and it has non-family professionals at the forefront of the Business Units. The company is proud to have been recognized by the IMD Business School and Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch Bank as the world’s best family company in 2005.

The Votorantim Group is the only closed-capital Brazilian company rated by the three main rating agencies in the world: Standard & Poors, Fitch Ratings and Moody's.

In February 2010, the Votorantim Group purchased through its subsidiary Votorantim Cimentos 21.2% of Portuguese cement company Cimpor, of which 17.3% was purchased from French cement company Lafarge and 3.9% from Portuguese Cinveste. Cimpor began to be played by the Brazilian siderurgy company CSN and the conglomerate Camargo Corrêa, that offered a hostile bid to hold 100% of the shares, but shareholds of Cimpor of rejected the offer to sell 100% of the company and thus the Votorantim Group was able to buy a stake in the Portuguese company. But on February 10 from the Camargo Corrêa impressed and bought 28.6% of Cimpor. In 2012 the group exchange their shares in Cimpor with Camargo Corrêa Cimpor for some assets in Asia, Africa and South America.

Do you consider the decendants of the first Portuguese settlers of Brazil more Brazilian than the Brazilian seperatist of Rio Grande Do Sul who are of recent immigrant stock ?

They are and I am. My earliest ancestors settled down in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and from there explored mineral wealth in Minas Gerais. João Ramalho is the first Portuguese settler of Brazil, and I am a direct descendant of him. He may have arrived before 1500! Thus my own personal story and that of millions of Southeast Brazilians (Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) is similar to theirs (to those from Northeast Brazil).

Southern Brazil was explored later, also by people from São Paulo, bandeirantes, who founded Laguna and São Francisco do Sul in Santa Catarina and from there annexed Rio Grande do Sul. Thus, many people from the South also have a similar history (just to mention two examples, Getúlio Vargas, one of our most important presidents, was a descendant of Amador Bueno, a colonial figure from São Paulo, just like I am; and Antonio de Sousa Neto, an important figure from Rio Grande do Sul, was also a descendant of João Ramalho, like I am: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B4nio_de_Sousa_Neto).

Later on, Azorean couples were settled down in Rio Grande do Sul and in Santa Catarina to guarantee the territory. Those who belong to near or fully German or Italian communities in the South are usually the ones (though not all) who feel the least identified to the rest of Brazil. I don't like it, since they did not conquer it, they were just invited and accepted the invitation. But that's my personal opinion. In the end, Brazil belonged to the Native Americans and was robbed from them. That injustice has gone beyond the point of return. I will pass away in a few decades... so what happens here ultimately is not that relevant. And I prefer to focus on my own personal welfare.

This thread is about an extremely important segment within Brazilian society, the colonial segment from Northeast Brazil, which made up the upper class of the country up until recently. Many of them still do. Some of the people I posted on this thread are familiar to anyone who has a basic knowledge on Brazil.

Thus my own personal story and that of millions of Southeast Brazilians (Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) is similar to theirs (to those from Northeast Brazil).

Southern Brazil was explored later, also by people from São Paulo, bandeirantes, who founded Laguna and São Francisco do Sul in Santa Catarina and from there annexed Rio Grande do Sul. Thus, many people from the South also have a similar history (just to mention two examples, Getúlio Vargas, one of our most important presidents, was a descendant of Amador Bueno, a colonial figure from São Paulo, just like I am; and Antonio de Sousa Neto, an important figure from Rio Grande do Sul, was also a descendant of João Ramalho, like I am: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B4nio_de_Sousa_Neto).

Later on, Azorean couples were settled down in Rio Grande do Sul and in Santa Catarina to guarantee the territory. Those who belong to near or fully German or Italian communities in the South are usually the ones (though not all) who feel the least identified to the rest of Brazil. I don't like it, since they did not conquer it, they were just invited and accepted the invitation. But that's my personal opinion. In the end, Brazil belonged to the Native Americans and was robbed from them. That injustice has gone beyond the point of return. I will pass away in a few decades... so what happens here ultimately is not that relevant. And prefer to focus on my own personal welfare.

This thread is about an extremely important segment within Brazilian society, the colonial segment from Northeast Brazil, is made up the upper class of the country up until recently. Many of them still do. Some of the people I posted of this thread are familiar to anyone who has a basic knowledge on Brazil.

You descend from João Ramalho?That's awsome,how did you gather so much information about your colonial ancestry?I am very interested in mine but I don't know much about it...My great-grandmother is quarter colonial from Piracicaba,do you think that I may descend from João Ramalho too?

I had opened a thread explaining it, what goes to Baltazar Antas de Moras goes to João Ramalho (I guess you're likely a descendant of him or at least of some of the early settlers too, the population was very small...)

Engenho means ingenio in Spanish? I guess yes, since ingenios are how were called the installations to produce sugar etc in the colonies...
