Alfredina de Paiva e Souza (1905-1999) was a Brazilian educator whose name frequently appears in the historiography of education associated with her work in mathematics education at the Institute of Education in Rio de Janeiro and her pioneering role in teleducation. However, there is little information about her biography. In this sense, the present article aims to trace this teacher's trajectory, identify her contributions, geographical/institutional/thematic shifts, and relationship networks. We operate from the traces, following the thread of her name, based on Ginzburg and Poni, and with the notion of networks, presented by Fuchs. As a source, we mainly mobilize the journals available at the Brazilian Digital Hemerotheca to identify Alfredina de Paiva's displacements and her connections. We also made use of educational magazines, notary records, and educational manuals available in different collections. Among the results, we were able to trace the institutional links and different areas to which she dedicated herself during her trajectory, some little known or discussed, such as her work at the Brazilian Education Association, at the Paiva e Souza School, and her ties to Catholic groups.
