Rui Moreira de Sá e Guerra, o grande Historiador da Família Beleza de Andrade 1933 - 2020 O Dr. Rui Moreira de Sá e Guerra investigou durante a sua longa vida (87 anos) a Saga da Família Beleza de Andrade e nos anos sessenta (em 1966), publica em Braga a sua primeira obra de Genealogia sobre a Familia, com o titulo Genealogia dos Belezas de Andrade . Nos inicios deste seculo, ja reformado continua a investigar em diversos Arquivos Distritais, desde o do Porto aos arquivos de Vila Real, entre outros. Entretanto como estudioso da genealogia Familiar acabamos por nos conhecer nas publicaçes digitais e tivemos um primeiro encontro na cidade de Guimares. Como ja ouvia falar deste ilustre primo investigador desde miudo, tive um enorme prazer em o conhecer e em acompanha-lo durante dez anos para finalizar esta obra de uma vida. Mostrou-me o Douro familiar e no familiar, ja que esta Familia esta desde o seculo XVIII intimamente ligada ao Douro e ao vinho do Porto. Para a elaboraço desta ultima obra do meu primo Rui Sa e guerra, dei uma muito modesta colaboraço, informaçes sobre o ramo dos Belezas Ferraz de Barcelos e facultei-lhe algumas fotografias. Como tal so esta obra publicada podera manter viva a sua MEMORIA e toda a Historia que ele plasmou neste livro. Em vida pediu-me para dar a maior visibilidade a este seu trabalho genealogico, pedido que agora estou a satisfazer, publicando a sua ultima ediço digitalizada de 2014. Luis Beleza Vaz

The head of the Guinness family tells the dramatic true story of how his ancestors created the largest brewery in the world.Growing up at Farmleigh, the country house outside Dublin, Arthur Edward Guinness Ned for short was fascinated by the secrets and legends that surrounded the early generations of his famous family of brewers.Against the backdrop of epic and convulsive times in Ireland and Britain, he explores the struggles and passions of his ancestors, who went from obscurity in Kildare to the pinnacle of Irish and British society.Each generation confronted new challenges until the dramatic events when the authors great-great-grandfather bought out his glamorous older brother and floated Guinness on the stock exchange. Overnight Edward Cecil Guinness became Irelands richest man.This is a tale in which brewing genius, sibling rivalry, bounteous philanthropy and astonishing social mobility are interwoven with historic national events, including the Act of Union, Catholic Emancipation, the Famine, the Home Rule movement, the Dublin Lockout and ultimately Irish independence. It is the inside story, as told by Ned Guinness. "This book is far more than an account of the commercial success of Guinness; its also a love letter to the city which produced it."
