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.

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.

I am so grateful to you and Emil for all the help you have given me in connecting the missing links. He has so much info. I had responsed to this thread earlier, thinking it was Jacki G. who sent the post out, but never heard back from Jacki. MaryAnn feel free to contact me directly also, as I have ongoing info on Rose Woodson and her family, she is my 3rd cousin, twice removed. I actually work for her granddaughter here in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The Jose Furtado Dutra 4-25-1899 is my third cousin, twice removed, so it appears we are related also. I'd love to share info with you.

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). I posted the following as a response on 7/16 Yes, my grandfather was Manuel Furtado Dutra 12/25/1903, his father Francisco Furtado Dutra 4/21/1870, his father Antonio Furtado Dutra Valim 11/12/1836, his father Joao Furtado Dutra 02/16/1796, his father Antonio Furtado Dutra 1/3/1756, his father Joao Furtado Dutra (who married Catarina Maria Furtado born 2/4/1725) and his father was Joao Furtado also.

She lived near New Port, RI and in her later years wintered in Florida where here daughters and son live. Rose married a man named Woodson. My uncle's other brother Antonio came to the US in the 60's as an older man to be with his daughters. His daughter Rose had come to the US in the 50's with her husband, Antonio Souza and two sons and they lived in California near us. His daughter Maria came when he did and she never married. Antonio came first to the East and then came to California. Another brother, Joao was a half brother. My Uncle Joe sent for Joao's two sons, Manuel and Frank during the time of the volcano in the late 50's. Their sister Maria came to the US later with her husband and two children and eventually Joao and his wife Maria also came to the US and lived here in Ca near us. I am very close to this family and am in contact with them regularly. We consider ourselves related even though we are not blood related. My Uncle Jose Furtado Dutra had two cousins, Jose Garcia and Joao Da Rosa (later americanized to Rose). I have early pictures of them together, but I am not sure if the pictures where taken here or in the Azores. They may have even come to the US together

She lived near New Port, RI and in her later years wintered in Florida where here daughters and son live. Rose married a man named Woodson. My uncle's other brother Antonio came to the US in the 60's as an older man to be with his daughters. His daughter Rose had come to the US in the 50's with her husband, Antonio Souza and two sons and they lived in California near us. His daughter Maria came when he did and she never married. Antonio came first to the East and then came to California. Another brother, Joao was a half brother. My Uncle Joe sent for Joao's two sons, Manuel and Frank during the time of the volcano in the late 50's. Their sister Maria came to the US later with her husband and two children and eventually Joao and his wife Maria also came to the US and lived here in Ca near us. I am very close to this family and am in contact with them regularly. We consider ourselves related even though we are not blood related. My Uncle Jose Furtado Dutra had two cousins, Jose Garcia and Joao Da Rosa (later americanized to Rose). I have early pictures of them together, but I am not sure if the pictures where taken here or in the Azores. They may have even come to the US together. There was also a Moitoso family that would visit us the were related to my Uncle Joe. I don't remember the husband's name, but the wife was Maria, of course and sons were Frank and Manuel. The whole family came from the Faial in the 60's also. Oh and by the way, I also have Vargas relatives from Almoxarife. Mary Ann In a message dated 7/18/2011 9:16:44 A.M.

Hi Mary Ann, Do you have more information on your mother’s Lewis line? Was your aunt Mary born in Faial? If so do you have any dates? I have Jose’s sister Rosa Gloria Dutra born Oct 25, 1895 in Santa Barbara, Cedros, Faial. She married Emmet Sydney Woodson born Jan 28, 1897 in Virginia. Rose lived in Jamestown, RI. She had four children with Emmet. He was in the US Army stationed at Fort Adams in Newport, RI in the 1920s. She died Jan 19, 1992 in Jamestown, RI. I’ll send more to you privately.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
Pat, Good to hear from you again, cousin. Yes, I sent Emil the updated info I had on my Furtado/Dutra family awhile ago. He is so great to help everyone with looking up their lost connections. I am so grateful to you and Emil for all the help you have given me in connecting the missing links. He has so much info. I had responsed to this thread earlier, thinking it was Jacki G. who sent the post out, but never heard back from Jacki. MaryAnn feel free to contact me directly also, as I have ongoing info on Rose Woodson and her family, she is my 3rd cousin, twice removed. I actually work for her granddaughter here in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The Jose Furtado Dutra 4-25-1899 is my third cousin, twice removed, so it appears we are related also. I'd love to share info with you. In case you don't have it - I posted the following on 7/16: 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). I posted the following as a response on 7/16 Yes, my grandfather was Manuel Furtado Dutra 12/25/1903, his father Francisco Furtado Dutra 4/21/1870, his father Antonio Furtado Dutra Valim 11/12/1836, his father Joao Furtado Dutra 02/16/1796, his father Antonio Furtado Dutra 1/3/1756, his father Joao Furtado Dutra (who married Catarina Maria Furtado born 2/4/1725) and his father was Joao Furtado also. I actually have Furtado relatives on both sides of my grandparents tree. There are also Rose and Garcia's in my tree.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
Thank you Jacki , It’s nice to know someone on this side of the states and especially a distant possible connection with the name Furtado. NEPS - I have 9 years to wait before maybe something would be brought up on him . I would have to get someone to translate for me I do not speak Portuguese at all…you see at home if Mom and Dad did not want us to know what they were saying she spoke Portuguese to Dad and he answered her in Swiss/Italian so we were not taught the language unfortunately….. and I can’t repeat the other words I picked up while living on the ranch and around my Dad while he was working on his tractors outside! (Mother would roll in her grave!) . Cedros is actually 7 miles away north of Salao (which is the village I am referring to…. and I am sorry I don’t know how to put the squiggly above the ”a”. Like I told everyone I am new at this, my first year and not too many years on computer . I know my granddad came over when he was 17 (5-1910) by himself and went to his brother Joseph’s in Bay area, according to the information when he came into country.. He was so quiet about his side of the family I have no clues other than he worked as a milkman delivery person in Bay Area. I do not believe his parents ever came to the US. I do remember there was a cousins first name “Norma Ray” and a Tony Alves both possibly from Tracy, Ca. area. I believe I remember a surname of “Nunes” also. This is pulling from a child’s mind, 13yrs old at the time and being introduced to strangers. Thank you again for contacting me and as I dig I may have to contact you again.. and I extend the invitation if you wished to contact me on my home email. thank you again, Judy G Furtado, George, Martin, Morganti From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jacki G.

You’re probably not going to find him there because of the 100 year mark. (They don’t list information about people until it’s been over 100 years because of privacy) However, when you identify his parents, you will probably find them there. They show a village called http://www.neps.ics.uminho.pt/salão.html Salão. I don’t know if that’s the same village you mentioned or not though. If you have any questions about how to navigate the site, you just have to ask for help. Myself and I’m sure everyone else in the group will be happy to help you. I am in the SF Bay Area in California and I do have the Furtado name from Faial in my line. In fact, I have an Antonio Furtado who was one of 8 children born to Manuel Furtado (1637-1698) My grandfather’s family is from Cedros though. I don’t know how far apart Cedros and your village are, but it’s possible that there is a connection.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
Judy G, There are people on this list that have learned to read by looking at some sample documents and then picking a few words out here and there and asking for help on this list. The sample documents on the Azores GenWeb are here: http://goo.gl/YlQiL (Scroll down to Part 3 to learn to read). If you don't want to learn to read, you can hire someone to do it for you. A list of researchers can be found on the Azores GenWeb. All are on this list too. http://goo.gl/0zbYL The squiggly a - those are diacritics. If you want to use them, you can check to see how to make your computer keyboard do it - you'd somehow activate it and then you press a certain key (function or Ctrl or Alt on a PC) and then you would cycle through the letter a until you get ã. You can also use Character Map (on a PC running XP: Start All Programs Accessories System Tools Character Map. You would then click the letter you want, click select, then click copy, then paste it into your document. Or you can look up codes and memorize them. Hold the Alt key on a PC and type 0227 on the NUMBER keypad and you get the a with the tilde: ã. But I'm kind of weird and like to memorize numbers (that's the math teacher in me). And this is different for a Mac.

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!

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.

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.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
Judy, You can try searching the NEPS website http://www.neps.ics.uminho.pt/açores.html . You’re probably not going to find him there because of the 100 year mark. (They don’t list information about people until it’s been over 100 years because of privacy) However, when you identify his parents, you will probably find them there. They show a village called http://www.neps.ics.uminho.pt/salão.html Salão. I don’t know if that’s the same village you mentioned or not though. If you have any questions about how to navigate the site, you just have to ask for help. Myself and I’m sure everyone else in the group will be happy to help you. I am in the SF Bay Area in California and I do have the Furtado name from Faial in my line. In fact, I have an Antonio Furtado who was one of 8 children born to Manuel Furtado (1637-1698) My grandfather’s family is from Cedros though. I don’t know how far apart Cedros and your village are, but it’s possible that there is a connection. My grandfather and his parents arrived in the US via Boston on Aug 6, 1906 and then traveled by train to Martinez, CA in Contra Costa County. There are lots of us in the group located on the West Coast and several of us are in the SF Bay Area. If there’s anything I can do to help you, you can send an email to me privately.
