Hi Linda, To be perfectly honest, I haven't a clue if we have a connection through our Furtado family. I've just begun this part of my family history research and only know my g grandparents name.
I know even less about my grandfather, Manuel R. Sousa/Souza He was from Terceira, Azores, was nine years older then my grandmother (according to the US Census Records) and he had a brother, Franklin "Frank" I understood there was a family farm that my grandfather inherited from his father and the farm was passed to Franklin was my grandfather passed. When Franklin passed on he returned the ownership of the farm to his two female cousins, who still leave there.
