Early life and ancestry

The son of Virgílio Martins de Melo Franco and Ana Leopoldina de Melo Franco, Afrânio was born in Paracatu, Minas Gerais, on 25 February 1870. He was a descendant of Francisco de Melo Franco, a physician and writer from Colonial Brazil. Franco's paternal grandmother, Antônia de Melo Franco, was the sister of Manuel de Melo Franco, one of the leaders of the liberal rebellion that broke out in Minas Gerais in 1842 and general deputy in the Empire of Brazil.

There, together with his friend Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada, he adhered to the republican movement that was beginning to grow in Brazil.
