That was a crafty rhyme in my blog post title 😉
Last week, I followed Rosa Pimentel’s maternal line. This week I am going to follow her paternal line. The surname Furtado and the variant Furtada figures in this line. Once again, because of the era, the surname follows the matrilineal format.
Starting with Rosa Pimentel…She is the daughter of Joze Furtado, b. 13 Sep 1767, Achada, Nordeste, Sao Miguel Island, Azores. Her Mother was Antonia Pimentel, who married Joze 29 May 1791, Achada.
Joze’s parents were Miguel do Monte of Rosario, Achadinha and Terezza Furtada of Agua Retorta. Joze has Furtada on both sides of his tree. And, because no Portuguese line can have a consistent surname, the last people in this line have the surnames Costa, Salgueiro, Costa (again), and Teixeira.
Note that this one line originates from three different villages: Achada, Achadinha, and Agua Retorta. Achada and Achadinha are near each other. Agua Retorta is further away. This makes my Portuguese paternal ancestry different from my Portuguese maternal ancestry. Where the paternal line comes form several different villages, the maternal line comes from predominantly from one village, Maia, in Ribeira Grande.
