Did Bartolomeu Dias grow up with his father and brothers?

That information may be available in an archive in Portugal. It isn't available as information passed down through generations of a family. For the direct line from Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] went extinct with the navigator's great grandchildren, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, neither of whom married or had children. Neither can any indication of trouble be found in what's known of the navigator's life. For Portuguese historians describe Dias as the descendant of a seafaring line. And Pero Dias is identified as Bartolomeu's brother, and commander of the supply ship for Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the Cape of Good Hope, off the coast of modern South Africa. Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c.1485] is identified as another brother, who participated in the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands. But Diogo was about 30 years older than Bartolomeu. So he may have been the navigator's father, or a relative other than in the direct, nuclear family. So the information would indicate that Bartolomeu Dias got along well enough with his family to be able to follow the same line of work, and have them in close quarters, as in the case of Pero holding down the critical role of supply ship commander.
