Steven, The 4 children survived her, others may have already died. You will have to search for the obits for her children to find out who survived her. The husband is still alive or she would be listed as viuva (widow) of Jose. I wondered about Furnas myself. I have seen records in Agua de Pau with last names of other towns. My great grandfather was Manoel Furtado, no middle name. His birth and marriage list him as Manoel Furtado, but his son's marriage and his obit list him as Manoel Furtado Rebeca (musician). There are a lot of Manoel Furtados in Achada, so I think it is just their way of better identifying him. You will find this a lot as you go back in time.

All the pieces are coming together! You mentioned 4 sons or children. Do you think this means all that is still living, because I believe her daughter is my wife’s immigrant great grandfather’s mother? So I take that to mean the daughter had already died? I found what I believe to be her (Joaquina’s) grandson’s baptism. It listed the same street on that document. The way this document is worded should I assume the husband is still living at this time? Also, the other documents I have found show her husband to be Jose de Souza. This would be the first document with Furnas as the surname. Is this a surname or do I assume he came from Furnas? I always feel I am somewhat guessing with these documents since they have the forever changing names.
