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.

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:
http://www.theotherside.co.uk/tm-heritage/background/flanders.htm
(not the prettiest site, but it gets the job done)
No doubt there are better, more extensive sources.
Al, there are dozens of history books written by Portuguese historians and other Europeans that contradict most of the generic type information in the Catholic Encyclopedia. There are some written in English also. One that readily comes to mind is "Atlantic Islanders of the Azores and Madeira", by Francis Milet Rodgers. I believe he graduated from Harvard. His grandparents were named Rodrigues, but changed it to Rogers if I'm not mistaken.
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.

First male line of Furtados in S. Miguel is that one of Martin Anes Furtado de Sousa who came from Madeira to Vila Franca around 1475. The female lines of Furtados were from Jorge Furtado de Mendonca through the Medeiros family. The daughter of Afonso Anes da Costa and Ines Martins is Solanda Lopes. Ines Martins was the dtr of Martim Anes Furtado de Sousa and Solanda Lopes (same name of the maternal grandmother). I feel I am connected through the female and male lines on my fathers paternal side, Antonio Furtado, maternal side Antonio de Sousa Calouro and my mother’s paternal side, Manuel Borges Giesta. I haven’t gotten back that far, but all the surnames seem to be there. They are all from Riberia Grande NS da Conceicao, Estrella and Matriz.

I think that Borges/Silverias/Van der Hagens like the de Sousas/Furtados/de
Mendoncas are interrelated down the lines.
Does anyone have Ines Lucinda da Silveira de Andrade as a relative? My
mother is Ines Estrella de Andrade Borges 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.
