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.

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 gaa...@frontier.com From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of ehsilve...@comcast.net Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2011 5:12 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial Hi, I am related to the Furtados of Faial and the names on your list are mostly in my file.

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???
