Do you have any information from the Azores on your line which might help? They could have changed Simas to Simmiss. Linda

I am just wondering if there is a connection as my name is Simmiss, family originated from the Azores. Do you have any information that this may be a connection as I have come to a stand still with my research. regards Kaylene Simmiss ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda <mailto:[email protected]> Norton To: [email protected] Cc: 'George Pacheco' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2010 9:07 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtados/de Sousas This is from John: The information from the index gives us a Manoel Furtado de Sousa born about 1650. He seems to be the oldest documented one till now, an ancestral of all these Furtados de Sousa around Ponta Garca and Achada in early 1700 connected with Simas and Resende families. That Margarida de Resende, dtr of Manuel Furtado de Sousa and Isabel de Simas, married to Manuel Pacheco do Amaral in 1749 in Achada, must be a granddaughter of that old Manuel Furtado de Sousa from 1605 and his wife Maria de Resende. Following Frutuoso we can find 8 grandsons, 6 granddaughters, 2 grandgrandsons and I grandgranddaughter of Martim Anes Furtado de Sousa around Vila Franca in 1580. So George, we are connected like Manoel, Hermano, Rick, by our Furtado's being from Vila Franca and Achada which brought down my Furtado's/Pimentels as Rick's which in turn stemmed from the Travossos/Cabral/Velho lines on one side. I understand there are the de Simas, Resendes, Mederios, Rebelo, Botelho and Rego lines as well which I see we are all intertwined by those lines, too. Am I correct on that? So we are all just one big happy family!
