Hi Rick & Judy,I have checked my files for Antonio da Rosa Furtado born Dec
09, 1892 and do not have him listed. If you are positive this birth date is
correct then it would seem that you need to research marriage records for this
couple in Oakland for 1917. Her father’s last name would have been spelled
Jorge. George is of course Anglicized here.
As for “Orta”, that is how it sounds to us and said by our
people. The confusion often is in the lack of understanding that Horta,
pronounced “Orta” is often used for where they came from, but since the whole
Island of Faial is in the district or county of Horta, they often leave out
that they are also from a town, like Salao in the county of Horta. It is then
similar to being from New York City, New York State, but only saying your from
New York. On Faial we also have the city of Horta, in the district/county of
Horta, Faial. It can easily throw off even the best researchers if they don’t
know or forget or assume to quickly.
Sorry I don’t have more for you, but you have to little for
me to go on right now.

Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
Hello EmilYour cousin Donna said to check with you regarding my Furtado line.
My grandfather is from Faial (family said Orta I think they meant Horta…which I
think is not right, I found some information about Salao??)He is Antonio Rosa
Furtado (could have a Rosa line?) b. 12-9-1892 m. in Oakland 1917 to Mary E.
George , she born ”Half Moon Bay area” California, but her parents Antonio
George and Mary Martin born in Azores (have not started that line yet!).
Grandpa died of cancer 1-17-1971 Santa Cruz, Ca. where he retired. Thought some
relatives to be in that area. He had relatives in San Francisco area and
Vallejo, California.He I believe had a brother Joseph S Furtado and Grandpa
sponsored his nephew Manuel R Furtado (in his late 70’s now) to come to
Americas not sure if Joseph is Manuel’s father or not ?? He settled in Oakdale
Ca. and married a Marie Camboia?. I have tried to get information from him but
nothing yet (5 Months now.)Somewhere I remember maybe another brother possibly
named Manuel Furtado (think younger) I do not have any more from his side than
that and everywhere I look it is a dead end.. I am beginning to wonder if he
had changed part of his name or dropped some but his relatives all have
Furtado.?? I have checked out some Furtado’s from Faial and the only clue
maybe is the Rosa in his name. Most all the relatives who would remember
history are passed on except for one and her memory is short, my mother
Geraldine, youngest in the family had lots of knowledge of family but she died
of Alzheimer’s . I also checked and the earthquake destroyed records during
his birth recording for that area so that’s out. Can you help me?? Are there
any clues from what little I have provided that maybe connects to your
records that might direct me to my next step?? Anything would help Judy G

I too have Furtado’s in my line from Faial. Although, mine are further back
than the 1800’s. Attached, is some basic information. If anyone thinks they
have connections to any of these people, please let me know. As far as I know,
they are all from Cedros, Faial. Jacki Gentry Pittsburg, CA Surnames:

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial There are quite a few of
us from the west coast. 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! JoElayne Ferre' Johnson From: Cheri Mello <gfsche...@gmail.com>

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from FaialRepost for Judy G,
gaarde at frontier.com I am searching Furtado and George line from Faial,
Azores and am very new at
this.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???Judy GMorganti, Furtado, George, Martin- Faial Azores--
