She belongs to a noble and distinguished Madeiran family and is the daughter of João Sauvayre da Câmara and Dona Matilde Lúcia de Sant’Ana e Vasconcelos Moniz de Bettencourt. She is the granddaughter of the illustrious Madeiran writer the Viscountess of Nogueiras, and the niece of our distinguished fellow countryman Jacinto de Sant’Ana e Vasconcelos, 21. viscount of the same title, both of whom we shall deal with in this Elucidario. Dona Marta Celina da Câmara was born in Funchal on 1 September 1857 and received a careful education, largely given by her illustrious grandmother, a lady of vast learning, who wrote for the use of her granddaughters an interesting and valuable work entitled Diálogos entre uma avó e suas netas, published in 1862. After a long journey through Europe and parts of Asia and Africa, Dona Marta Celina wrote a book which she entitled De Napoles a Jerusalem and which in

1889 was published in Funchal, in a volume of 196 pages. Dona Marta Celina Sauvayre da Câmara died in Portugal on 21 February 1929.
