The Portuguese Who's Who in Shanghai

Click to see larger graph

The Portuguese population of Shanghai was monitored by the Shanghai Municipal Government. It rose from 6 in 1850 to a peak of 2281 after World War II. Statistics are plotted in this graph.

The book Portuguese in Shanghai by Wang Zhicheng (Fundação Macau, 1998) records much valuable information, including a list of 2,400 residents in the 1940s and early 1950s, based on Foreign Emigrants' Registration Cards in the archives of the Public Security Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government. That list reproduced clerical errors without correction and there were obvious duplications. The following table is the result of my attempt at correcting errors and identifying people.

1. Serial number giving the order in which the name appeared in the book, but with the corrected names now in alphabetical order
2. Name as originally published
3. My attempt at identifying the probable name, with a link to the Person Page
4. Comment

Duplicates are shown in pink background. Blue boxes indicate that there is some doubt about the identification because no plausible link was found to Shanghai. A number preceded by # means it is the ID number of a person in this website; clicking on it will take you to that person's page.
