Hi Jesse, Jurdoa (Jordoa) is the feminine form of Jordão which is a given name.
Leonor Jordoa is daughter of Margarida Jordoa and Gaspar Afonso Coucelos married in Santa Cruz da Lagoa on 9 April 1570 (Genealogias de S. Miguel, Rodrigo Rodrigues, cap. 129º). Bartolomeu Cabral [Travassos] is a descendant of Diogo Gonçalves de Travassos and D. Violante Velho Cabral - Genealogias de S. Miguel, Rodrigo Rodrigues, cap. 33º, § 11.º, N.º 7: 1. Pero Velho de Travassos (ou Velho Cabral); 2. Estevão Cabral (ou de Travassos); 3. João Cabral, do Vulcão ou dos Remédios, por ser aí morador (Vide Frutuoso, Livro IV, Caps. III, VIII, XV, XXXII, XLII e LXXIV). Casou com Catarina Vaz (Cap.º 102.º § Único, N.º 2); 4. Francisco Cabral Travassos, morador na Lagoa (Nota N.º 19 e Frutuoso Livro IV, Cap.º VIII). Casou com Maria Lopes (Cap.º 43.º § 2.º, N.º 3); 5. Bartolomeu Cabral [Travassos]. Casou no Rosário da Lagoa a 2.10.1605, com Leonor Jordoa (Cap.º 129.º § 1.º, N.º 2).

I just found this casamento for two of my ancestors and noticed the Jurdoa name. I'm not sure if it's a surname or just a second name. The wife is Leanor Jurdoa. Her father is not listed, but her mother is Margarida Jurdoa. I was wondering if anyone has any more information on this name, or maybe I'm just reading it wrong? I searched the group page and "Jurdoa" did not come up in any previous postings. Here is the record, it's the first entry on the page: http://o.mfcreative.com/f1/file11/objects/2/3/3/b233a9fd-5bcd-4fa9-bc20-7454 fdb61233-0.jpg -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
