I just found a marriage of a lady named Páscoa who was born in Lomba in 1787 and then noticed the Lomba records are lost or destroyed for that century.
What stuck me is the name of her father, Manuel Furtado da Burra, a name I have never seen before.

Maybe some of you Flores researchers have Burra ancestry and perhaps a Lomba connection.

I see Burra means a female donkey, so this is certainly an "alcunha" (nickname), I would say.
