About the Author

During my adolescent years, I enjoyed when I could hear the adults in the family talking about our ancestors. The topics of the conversations were always different, but the historic facts never changed. It was a pleasure to listen about anecdotes of relatives that I never met. Many of the historic facts that I heard, were engraved in my memory, and over the years I saved many newspaper articles, reports, and studies that referred  to the genealogical history of my four families : Nietzen, Brealey, Borges, Salazar. Through out the years I have accumulated a great quantity of information, as well as some data that some realatives have given me, and for which I am very grateful. Taking in consideration what I have said, I feel the need to share all this genealogical information with all the present families Nietzen, Brealey, Borges, Salazar. To achieve this, I prepared data that I am sharing in this book. Some relatives will be interested in reading about it, others may not. However, I feel certain amount of obligation to the relatives who are interested in this genealogical history, so they can find out about their roots, where they came from, and who they were. I want to make it clear that this work is a faithful copy from historic documents of the Nietzen, Brealey, Borges, Salazar families. This documents have been writting and publicized. The genealogical history of these four families may have been writting in different forms, but the historic facts will be the same. This publication is the result of several years of effort,  research and anxiety.
