Yes. I've been trying to get a record on my ggrandfather, Marianno Furtado who supposedly is brother to Francisco Pimentel, Rick's ggrandfather. They were siblings as your ggrandparents were siblings on the Carvalho side.
Rick and I have been on the group for years and I kept seeing his information about his family from Ribeira Grande and I knew we were connected somehow from his ggrandmother Maria Furtado. What we learned just last year that my ggrandfather never carried the Pimentel name down, but Rick found out on records that his grandfather came over with the Furtado name on the ship manifest and that they had the same parents. Also Francisco had a brother named Marianno which just made sense. Our grandparents were first cousins generating from the female side. Yes, we would be cousins since Maria Pimentel was Maria Furtado Teixeira Pimentel and Manuel Furtado Teixeira Pimentel. Our ggrandparents were siblings. Maria and Manuel were first cousins to my grandfather Antonio Furtado. It's amazing how many of us are probably related, but with family members not carrying names down or changing names makes it much more difficult it is to try to find relatives. I'm trying to get my aunt and uncle, Marianno Furtado to find his grandfather's information. I thought my dad had it, but I couldn't find it when he passed away. My father never ever mentioned Pimentel so I was shocked when I was finding this out. My father said his grandfather died when he was young and didn't really remember him so that's probably one of the reasons besides them never discussing past families. Do you have any information on Mary Constance Pimentel? I just met another cousin on line on my father's maternal side, Mike A. He just recently joined the group. I've met four other cousins directly on line as well. Isn't it incredible! So, for now, I'm going to say you are possibly my fifth directly on line besides all the other siblings.

Hi Linda, I've read Rick's response to this. It does get confusing. My grandparents are Mary Constance (Pimentel) and John George Carvalho. They had an arranged marriage. My Dad, John was their 2nd oldest child, born in 1915. So Rick's grandmother and my grandfather are siblings, and his grandfather and my grandmother are siblings. So it looks like we three are very related, although I would guess you are more our generation, yes?
