Life and public service
A municipal exhibition account identifies Joaquim Ferreira Purgatório Júnior among the leaders of the transitional administrative commissions. It mentions June 1975, but its dates overlap with those given for Carlos Pereira Lucas. His exact period in office therefore remains uncertain; the photograph was supplied by the website owner.
[1]Dates and the historical record
His place in the chronology rests on the municipal exhibition synopsis reproduced by Médio Tejo in 2017. It names him in June 1975, but gives overlapping periods for Carlos Pereira Lucas. The academic and municipal-library lists do not resolve the discrepancy. An appointment, resignation or administrative-commission minute is needed before a precise term can be asserted. The owner-supplied portrait is not an independent confirmation of the dates.

Research notes
This is a sourced research dossier. Contemporary records, later historical accounts and personal recollections are distinguished where they differ. An announced project is not treated as a completed achievement. Linked catalogues may describe documents that are not available as digital scans.
- Birth, education and family details have not all been independently established. Unverified personal details are omitted.
- The 1974–1976 administrative commissions need further archival checking. Conflicting dates are preserved as an uncertainty.
- Further detail would require consulting the municipal or family archive; a reference to an archive does not mean its contents are digitised here.
