Ally, According to the 1957 Pleasanton phone book , there are no Furtado families listed. The 1940 census also lists no Furtado in town. The 1930 shows Manuel and Mary Furtado, children Mary born in 1926 in Rhode Island, Edward, b. 1929, and John b. 1930 in California. It says Mary was born 1905, Azores, and immigrated in 1921.
