The Netherlands were a Portuguese-Spanish possession for many years in
the 13th-15th century.

Willem van der Haagen was born in Bruges, 1450, and started the
Portuguese colonization of the Azores in the Faial Island. He took on
the name Guilherme da Silveira. (Guilherme=Guillermo in Spanish=Willem
in Dutch=William in English)

There's your connection, in a nutshell. I am sure others can add.

Cordialmente,

Hi Jorge

if the Netherlands were a Spanish or Portuguese possession for many years
between the 13th and 15th centuries, that is certainly news to me, as well
as most historians. With all due respect, it is indeed a stretch to make
that suggestion. True, there has always been a Flemish and Dutch connection
to the Azores. That connection has been greatly exaggerated by many over
the years. Certainly Van der Hagen was not Portuguese, but the number of
these non Portuguese families who immigrated to the Azores at the urging of
the King of Portugal was very small, probably less then 50 families
dispersed throughout the 9 islands.
The real connection between the Azores and these other countries is rooted
in the affairs of European noble families, their marriages and
relationships, not due to any single European power or combination thereof,
possessing another.

Sincerely

Herb

Hi Herb,
 
As far stretching as it may sound, it is indeed true.  I took a class regarding the history of Spain and Portugal: 14th to 17th century, at the University of California, Berkeley, and at one point during that time period the Netherlands was in fact part of the Spanish Empire.  Check out the book, Imperial Spain, by J.H. Elliot, it should list some information there. 
 
Best,
 
Daniel

Herb,
    What is the source you use to contradict the following?
--------------
(from The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume II; Copyright © 1907 by Robert Appleton Company)
The existence of this archipelago was not generally known to the inhabitants of Europe before the fifteenth century of our era, although there is evidence that Phoenician, Scandinavian, and Arabian navigators visited it at different periods. In 1432 the Portuguese, Goncalo Velho Cabral, discovered the island of Santa Maria, and by the year 1457 all the islands had been visited by either Portuguese or Flemish explorers, none of whom found any aboriginal inhabitants, wild animals, or reptiles. In 1466 Affonso V of Portugal granted to the Duchess Isabel of Burgundy, his aunt, some sort of feudal privilege in the Azores, in consequence of which the colonists for some time were mostly Flemings, and the Portuguese themselves in those days called the islands As Ilhas Flamengas (the Flemish Islands). The first Portuguese colonies of any importance in the Azores were those of São Miguel, and Terceira, and at the end of the fifteenth century a certain number of the Moors, driven from Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella, took refuge in the islands.
 
It was not until 1534 that the ecclesiastical organization of the Azores was effected. Until then they had been under the jurisdiction of the Grand Prior of the Order of Christ. The Bull of Pope Paul III, dated 5 November, 1534, immediately after that pontiff's accession to the Apostolic See, formed a diocese with its metropolis at Angra do Heroismo, is the island of Terceira, to include the whole of this archipelago. The See of Angra was made suffragan to that of Funchal, but in 1547 it was removed from this jurisdiction and placed under that of the then Archiepiscopal (now Patriarchal) See of Lisbon. From 1580 to 1640 the Azores, like the rest of the Portuguese dominions, had to submit to the rule of Spain, and during that period the neighbouring waters were the scene of many hard fights between the Spanish and the English sea-rovers. The commercial prosperity of the islands declined after the recovery of Portuguese independence and the accession of the House of Braganza in 1640. The city of Angra attained some slight historical notoriety in 1662, when Affonso VI, deposed by his brother Dom Pedro, was imprisoned there. Material prosperity began to be restored to the Azores immediately after the period of the French invasion of the Peninsula and the flight of João IV to Brazil (1807), when the former restrictions of commerce were removed. In the Portuguese revolution of 1828-33, the Azorean populations took a decided stand against the absolutist Dom Miguel, repulsed an attack upon the island of Terceira by a Miguelist fleet, and contributed largely to form the Progressista army which landed at Oporto in 1833, driving Dom Miguel into exile, and establishing on the throne the Queen Donna Maria da Gloria, who for two years preceding had resided at Angra.

Herb,

I don't know about "most historians" you mention. The wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Utrecht) matches what I always
learned in school. Note from the text below that if Spain had to give up
the Netherlands, that means Spain possessed the Netherlands (or part of
them) prior to the treaty. Maybe I exaggerated when I wrote "possessed
the Netherlands" -- I could have said "part of it" or "had influence
over". Still, what I meant is that the Dutch-Iberian connection was very
strong in those centuries.

I now quote from Wikipedia:

===
Treaty of Utrecht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Treaty of Utrecht was a series of peace treaties signed in Utrecht
in 1713 that helped end the War of the Spanish Succession (Queen Anne's
War)
By its provisions, Louis XIV's grandson Philip V of Spain was recognized
as King of Spain, but Spain's European empire was divided up - Savoy
received Sicily and parts of the Milanese, while Holy Roman Emperor
Charles VI was to receive the Spanish Netherlands, the Kingdom of
Naples, Sardinia, and the rest of the Duchy of Milan. In addition, Spain
ceded Gibraltar and Minorca to the British, and agreed to give the
Asiento-a valuable exclusive slave-trading contract-to the British.

Thanks, Daniel.
 
It's always good to remember (especially in a group of Azorean descendants) that the Portuguese had the best sailors in the world and the most poweful Navy at a time. That gave them a lead in "dividing the world" with Spain. Eventually, the British caught up, and even the French and Dutch (then free) started their own colonial empires.

Is it? Most historians around these parts seem to be well aware of it,
then again, I live in Flanders. It's considered common knowledge.

History of Flanders, the Spanish Netherlands:

(not the prettiest site, but it gets the job done)

No doubt there are better, more extensive sources.

According to Manoel Cesar Furtado, The Furtados and de Mendoncas are surely connected and they descent from the old Afonso Furtado that was captain of Portuguese galleys in the reign of D. Joao I, 1385.  According to Lionel, There is a noble branch of the Furtado de Mendoncas who reached Flores but the pirates burned and plundered in the 1500-1600’s which has made it impossible for us to find how the lines have come down.

 

My father, who knew nothing of his background as a Furtado, always said, I know one thing and that is we have Dutch in our family line. He didn’t know from whom, but was positive on that.

Absolutely Jorge I agree. This is a great discussion

There was a Dutch-Iberian connection throughout history. My point is that
the connection is not as strong as some historians would lead us to believe.
I've lived in the Netherlands (1978) and in the Azores. I did not notice an
Iberian influence in the Dutch people or it's culture while there. ( I only
lived there a short time).

Hi Linda,

Frutuoso says that Solanda Lopes, the wife of Martim Anes Furtado de Sousa,
had flemish origin. They came from Madeira island to Vila Franca do Campo,
São Miguel island, around 1475.
The sugar trade has brought flemish families to Madeira, mid XVth c.

The female line of Furtados from Jorge de Mendonça through the Medeiros family goes like this, apud Frutuoso:
 
1. Jorge (Furtado) de Mendonça c.c. ?
 
1.1. Ana Gonçalves c.c. Rui Vaz de Medeiros
 
1.1.1. Branca Rodrigues de Medeiros c.c. Diogo Afonso Colombreiro
1.1.1.1. Pedro Furtado
 
1.1.1.2. Sebastião Afonso c.c. N. Pavão
1.1.1.2.1. Aleixos Furtado de Mendonça
 
 
1.1.2. Maria de Medeiros c.c. Rodrigo Alvares
1.1.2.1. Alvaro Lopes Furtado
 
 
This female line of the Medeiros family is also mixed with the Martim Anes Furtado de Sousa line:
 
1. Jorge (Furtado) de Mendonça c.c. ?
 
1.1. Ana Gonçalves c.c. Rui Vaz de Medeiros
 
1.1.3. Guiomar Rodrigues de Medeiros c.c. Lope Anes Araujo de Viana
1.1.3.1. Maria de Araujo c.c. Antonio Furtado (son of Rui Martins Furtado and Maria Rodrigues Botelho).
1.1.3.1.1. Lope Anes Furtado c.c. Inês Correia
 
 
There are three more lines of Furtados in Frutuoso besides the Martinhanes and Medeiros lines.
One of them is from João de Albernaz who came from Faial to S. Miguel:
 
1. João d'Albernaz c.c. ?
 
1.1. Isabel Furtado c.c. ?
1.1.1. Clemente Furtado c.c.?
1.1.1.1. Manuel Furtado
 
1.2. Inês d'Albernaz c.c. Duarte Pires
1.2.1. Duarte Pires Furtado
1.2.2. Isabel Furtado

You’re related to Herb and Judy!

 

There may be some connection with one of the lines down, but I will check and let you know.

 

I know my mother’s maternal grandfather was Manuel de Andrade de Almeida Rodrigues from Sao Roque and Arrifes and I do know my mother’s cousins were Texeiras and I do have Borges Tavares as well on my mother’s paternal side, but I have them all in Riberia Grande and not Ponta Delgada.  Some, of course, could have moved to Ponta Delgada, though. 

 

Thank you for all your information and sorry for all your work you had to do to let me know.

Beth,
 
We all have to thank the friar Gaspar Frutuoso for his book Saudades da Terra written circa 1580 about the first families that came to S. Miguel island.
I´ve been searching for documental trace of Martinhanes (Martim Anes) Furtado de Sousa in Madeira island and mainland, but I found nothing. He´s documented in S. Miguel. See 'Arquivo dos Açores'. The document only shows he died before 1507.
All we know about him comes from Saudades da Terra, book 4th.

Hi Manoel,
 
Hmmm......a mystery!  Do you know if he was a person of importance once coming to Sao Miguel?  Perhaps he was just a settler on Madeira, then Sao Miguel, but rose to leadership later??  I hope something turns up about this individual one of these days.  I don't have these books available to me.....nor do I read Portuguese....though I can pick out words here and there and manage the gist of things with a dictionary.
 
At any rate...thanks, Manoel.

Just the information that John sent you last week about my gggg grandmother
Ines Lucinda da Silveira Andrade, is all I can offer right now. You can
trace that through my relatives , the Gagos, and Silveiras to Maria dos
Santos. My great great grandmother was Maria dos Santos, but family
tradition has it that she died giving birth to Jose Inacio, who was
Amancio's son, possibly in Jan 1883 or as late as Nov 1883 in Sao Pedro,
Ponta Delgada. I've searched for many years and George Pacheco is also
helping me, but so far we haven't been able to find anything on Maria Dos
Santos last name or where she was from.. If she gave birth in Sao Pedro in
1883 we can't find it. My father was a (Ventura) Sousa Silva. Once I have
that information on Maria dos Santos it should open up alot of doors. My
grandmother was from Sao Roque and I also have a lot of relatives from
Ribeira Grande and Ponta Delgada.

There was a Borges Cabral from my mom's side also, but it appears she was
from Nordeste.

What I've learned from this list and from my own family is that the female
lines carry their mother's or grandmother's surname not their fathers.

My mother always carried Borges and not Borges Giesta which I have found on
records and my cousins on the paternal side have Giesta as their surname.
My mother always said that her mother, my grandmother was a de Andrade. I
have found through a marriage certificate that my grandfather was Manuel de
Andrade de Almeida Rodrigues.

My father always said his mother was a de Sousa, but yet on record her
father was de Sousa Calloura.

It just makes it harder to find the lines.

Not necessarily, Linda.

Very often, women used their mothers' names, and men used their
fathers'. But often all of them used the father's surname, or his
followed by hers, of vice-versa, or they useda grandparent's surname, or
a godparent's.

Many women (and some men) also chose to use a "devotional" surname, a
religious name such as da Conceição, de Jesus, da Encarnação, do
Nascimento (which eventually became a family name), de São Tomé, de
Santa Ana, etc. Sometimes devotional names were used by several
generations of women.

But I agree 100% that that makes it harder to find some lines.
