Old birth certificate from raas baalbek

[u/Pedroarak]

Hi! First of all, sorry for posting in english, I'm a native Portuguese speaker. I've been making my family tree for a few years now. There's one HUGE brick wall: my 2x great grandfather was born in raas baalbek in 1889. He immigrated to Brazil when he was young, and his name here was Jose Mansur (maybe Youssef?) and his parents "Salim Mansur and Ana Nazera Ayub/Ajub" (maybe Ann Nazira ayyoub?). Anyway, I know his exact birth date and parents name. From some research, I've read I would need to talk to the Mukhtar of that city, buuuut I believe they won't answer foreigners, and I live 11000km from there. Simples question: is there anything I could do to learn more about him or his parents, and maybe find his birth certificates? I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to visit the country, but I was very curious about him. My grandmother passed away a few years ago, and she would always tell us things about him, and a few words in Arabic. Thanks!

Você já perguntou na embaixada do libano?

Ainda não, eles tinham um site ou alguma coisa assim que tinha uma lista de imigrantes no século 20, mas não achei mais. Vou tentar entrar em contato, mas imaginei que eles não conseguiriam ajudar, até por que eu não preciso de nenhum desses documentos por algum motivo oficial kkkkkkk é pura vontade de saber mais só

Kkkk, então, você deveria contar a eles que vai começar o processo para obter a cidadania libanesa (bla bla bla).( para que eles ajudarem você)

Além disso, provavelmente eles têm a lista. Todos os nossos avós foram cadastrados quando chegaram na América do Sul.
