What I did was to look through Ernesto do Canto Index for every MONTE I could find in Achada and Achadinha marriages (still doing Achadinha).
So far I have found: - Achada: Miguel do Monte to (…?...) Furtado. From another marriage I learned that the wemen kept the mother name Furtado. There is a marrying Domingas Furtado daughter of the same parents. Her mother was a Furtado. Also in the re-marriage of Miguel (1725) to Maria da Costa we learn that she was named Maria Furtado as her mother was. - Achadinha: Pedro Furtado or Pedro de Araújo to a Maria do Monte; the same Pedro remarying Maria de Santo André after his first wife passed away); Manuel de Arruda sono f Manuel do Monte marrying Teresa de Paiva; ângela de Medeiros born in Porto Formoso daughter of Pedro de Araújo and Maria do Monte (much likely the first Pedro I mentioned) Then we know the MONTE from Mais and Porto Formoso áreas and the MONTE from Ribeira Seca da Ribeira Grande… All these MONTE are related... A remark – I have came across some MONTE that were originaly MONTEIRO. Sometimes the abbreviation of MONTEIRO looks like MONTE… I will keep piling up them!!!
