My two cousins and I have DNA match who is researching the surnames Kopke (Koepke) and Moniz.  I was surprised that they had their Kopke ancestor from Sao Miguel island.

I was sure this was a mistake.  However, a little searching and I came across a history of Nicolau Kopke of Germany who came to Portugal in the 1600s. From this website, it appears there is a rich history in Portugal from that point on. https://kopke1638.com/history/

I did some research and found references to Sao Miguel Island for her ancestor, but no village. So, my guess is a branch of that Kopke family in Portugal made their way to Sao Miguel.  As she doesn't have a village, I was curious how common the Kopke surname is on Sao Miguel?  I haven't come across it before until now.  I am wondering if it is rare if it might be possible to pinpoint or narrow down the village. 

Has anyone heard of this surname before in relation to the Azores?  We are probably 4th or 5th cousins, but not my curiosity has been raised.

Thanks!

The Kopke family appears in Rodrigo Rodrigues as follows:

1 - Maria Teresa Leite Botelho de Teive, was born in the Parish of S. José de Ponta Delgada on 26.6.1857 and was married in Matriz de Ponta Delgada on 28 Jun 1874 to Álvaro Kopke de Barbosa Ayala, an engineer, baptized in Cedofeita, Porto son of Álvaro Kopke de Barbosa Ayala and Luzia Kopke.

 

      They has:

 

       2 - Joaquim Kopke de Barbosa Ayala, with a degree in law from  the University of Coimbra, and head of the secretariate of the City Hall of Lisbon, where he died. He married his cousin Serafina Leite do Carvalhal, daughter of  João Dias do Carvalhal da Silveira and his wife Catarina Amélia Leite Botelho de Teive (b. in S. José, Ponta Delgada, 14 Sep 1867). Serafina Leite do Carvalhal, was born on 2 Aug.1876 and died in Lisboa in 1927. .

 

                 They had:

 

3 - Maria Luiza do Carvalhal Kopke, married in Lisboa.

 

2 - António Kopke de Barbosa Ayala, a customs official in Ponta Delgada died single.

2 - Luzia Kopke de Barbosa Ayala who married her cousin Manuel Kopke, (no descendants)

 

I hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

To be clear, that "list" is from running "Kopke" through the library's card catalog (of sorts).
