Hi Linda,
Let me see if I understand this correctly,
Marianno never came to Canada or the US. His son Antonio did in the
early 1900's went back and then returned 1919/1920 and later went back
and he died in the Acores in 1945.
If that is the case the only way we are going to find out if Marianno
Furtado is actually Marianno Furtado Pimentel is to A: get his marriage
record or B: get his birth record (idealy both). In either case it will
require sending to the Archives in Ponta Delgada to get copies of the
records. If you have contacts in Sao Miguel perhaps they could do it for
you.

My Uncle right now has major health issues that my Aunt is trying to
deal with. She tried to give me what she had, but it was on my
Grandmother and not my Grandfather. They thought I had it because my Dad
was with me, but I went through everything I didn't see any paperwork
regarding Marianno. I thought my Grandmother would had given everything
to my Uncle when she came back here with him in 1951 or 1953. She was
going to try and ask my Dad's cousin, Padre Anton from Ribeira Grande if
he could find something, but he's not well himself being 85 and he is on
my father's maternal side. Most of my father's paternal side has passed
over there and only cousins left here who I haven't seen since I was a
child so that isn't helping.
According to my Uncle and my Dad when he was living, it was my
grandfather Antonio Furtado son of Marianno who came to the US, but
nothing on Marianno coming here. He did tell me that only his Aunt
Marianna and Uncle Jose stayed there, but then his father went back and
remained till he died in 1945. All their children came here or Canada.
He said the parents came in the early 1900's went back and then some
came again 1919/1920.
I know jumping around is hard, but I think it's because it seems cousins
married within the families, so we seem to be all interrelated
especially from the same town, don't you think?
