To improve the situation, the uncultivated land became the new owners donated by the system of allotments. The bill came to Brazil at the beginning of colonization, with Martim Afonso de Souza, in the 1530s. To this day no one knows how many titles are called letters of allotments were awarded. Researchers at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte is estimated that between 16 000 and 20 000. They've done a survey of these documents in some Northeastern states, and released this year, the database platform Silber - Sesmarias of the Luso-Brazilian.
Until April, the web portal will have about a thousand insertions between maps, legislation relating to land grants and copies of letters.

She said one goal is to give as many here have given confirmation letters in the archives of Portugal. The team estimates somewhere around 20%, which shows that Brazil, in fact, was mostly occupied by office.
