Jacki, Judy, Frank & JoElayne, Upon searching your list I find that the Manuel Furtado born 11/5/1697, married on 02/25/1715 and died on 10/29/1730 is my 7th great grandfather. I have many of the other names on my tree but don't have dates associated with them. Maybe we (and others who are related) could connect directly to share info and update the group. My email is dwood...@aol.com. I have been searching for my California relatives for awhile but can't seem to locate them as I'm not sure what town they settled in. They are Frank Furtado born about 1897, Manuel Furtado born about 1926 and Joseph Furtado born about 1897 in Cedros. They are the children of Francisco Furtado (1870) and Maria da Conceicao Rosario (1878).

Maybe we don't post as often??? In the Bay Area there is a bunch of us! Hopefully, you can connect with a cousin through this group. That has been one of the benefits of this group for me. The other is learning about the unique research skills and resources needed to research the Azores genealogy. So far all of my knowledge of our ancestors has come through cousins researching the same families. Don't forget to check all the neighbors in the census. The immigrants tended to migrate together and settle near each other. Good Luck!

Is there a active Portuguese club of some sort for the Northwest states as most all posting I read are coming from east coast area and I do not hear "Ellis Island" or Northwest mentioned much?? If not this is what I know about my grandparents and great grandparents. I believe his birth records there have been destroyed by fire as I read the church in Saoal burned to the ground??? Grandfather: Antonio Rosa Furtado (possibly a Jr.?) born 1892 Island of Faial (maybe little town of Saoal), Azores I read the church ( in Saoal) that his records were in burnt down and they lost a lot of informtion. Immigration - 1910 via Ellis Island (Ellis Island has write up and picture on wall of him) to Turner, Calif. Died 1971 Santa Cruz, Ca. His father possibly named Antonio R Furtado also. His Mother is unknown to me. Antonio has a brother named Joseph (S or R?)Furtado who settled in San Francisco Bay area, California prior to Antonio's arrival. There may be a 2nd brother Manuel Furtado who came over later. Such a common name and nothing to connect it too. 1918 Antonio married Mary Elizabeth George - 1893 to 1986. Their children Dorothy Rose, Edward A, and Geraldine May (my mother) . My Grandmother Mary's parents are - Father - Antone F. George 1863 to 1949 , Immigrated in 1887 from Azores (island ?),. Mother is Mary J Martin 1872 to ? Maybe born here in Bay area.?. Married - 1893 in San Francisco area and settled in Half Moon Bay, California.- their children were: Mary Elizabeth, Joseph F, Rose , Minnia (Minnie), Antone Jr. and Clara. I show Antonio and Mary made a trip to Lisbon in 1952. Both Mary and Antonio are buried in Santa Cruz, California where he had retired. I have hit a wall. I am still searching for distant cousins possibly in bay area???
