John, I descend from Antonio da Costa Salgado and Ana Furtado whose daughter Ana Furtado married Francisco da Costa on 20 aug 1698 in Ponta Garça. I could not find yet the connection with the Salgado's from Vila Franca. I've been told that these Salgado's from Vila Franca came from Galicia when Portugal was under the rule of the hispanic monarchy, 1580 - 1640. At this time period there was a company of galician troops in Vila Franca. After the restoration the galician surnames were gradually dropped out and replaced by the traditional azorean surnames into families linked to the first settlers, avoiding the patronymics that could indicate a hebraic origin.
I looked at my old notes from 2003 when I was researching on the microfilms and found this: 1. São Pedro, Vila Franca – casamentos: . 26 nov 1623 (CCA #21) - Manuel de Fontes x Isabel Ferreira Filho de Antonio Salgado e Teresa de Fonte Filha de Jorge Ferreira e Apolônia Rodrigues Test: Rui Gonçalves Perdigão, Antonio Botelho Furtado, .... , Antonio de Araújo. . 14 abr 1625 (CCA #23) – Tomé de Fontes x Catarina Manuel Filho de Antonio Salgado e Isabel de Fontes (f), moradores na Matriz de Vila Franca.
