Cordeiro de Miranda Family

[John Raposo]

Dear fellow List Members:

 

As some of you know I have been researching the Miranda family of the Parish of Bretanha in S. Miguel for many years. There are five main branches, one of which is the Cordeiro de Miranda family. That particular branch is very well represented in the Azorean Diaspora that settled in Massachusetts and in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. My cousin Licínio Nunes de Miranda of Fortaleza has created a page on Facebook, Familia Cordeiro de Miranda, and would welcome the participation of any Cordeiro de Mirandas, particularly any descendants of Francisco Cordeiro de Miranda and his wife Mariana Augusta da Estrela.

Regards,

John Miranda Raposo

Thanks, John. Don't connect with them but I'm sure there are people on this list that will connect.

Thank you John,

There's a woman in the Azores DNA Project than I told to contact you because she's looking for an unknown bio father and you show as a good cousin match. Debbie? Maybe she connects to the Mass Miranda's since she lives in New Bedford area.

Best regards,

Nancy Jean

I haven’t done much on this particular branch of my family tree but I have a great aunt who married into the Vivieros Miranda family from Bretanha. Would they be a connection to this line?

Thanks.

Might be. They certainly have the same ancestors. All of the Bretanha Mirandas have the same trunk. And the different branches also intermarried. Good luck!

Hi John,

My great-great grandfather was Antonio de Sousa Miranda born 1806 in Graciosa. Do you know of any of your Miranda’s who ended up in Graciosa. There were Cordeiro’s in Graciosa also.

Thanks,

I have done a lot of research on my Mirandas, and the Mirandas from the other islands. I have never discovered a connection between the S. Miguel Mirandas and the Mirandas from the other islands.

Dear John, 

I have several lines that are ending (so far) in Ajuda da Bretanha.  I seem to be in deep in both the Santo António além Capelas and Ajuda da Bretanha freguesias.  I’m willing to share what I have.

To answer the question in your post, I am not sure if I am a Miranda or not.  I have not yet seen this surname in my tree, but since I now have so many lines headed into Bretanha, and Bretanha is not so populated, perhaps we are in the same tree?  

Let’s see…

Below is a list of couples at the top of my tree so far, who I believe were married in BRETANHA. Each couple listed is at the top of each branch.

António Martins and Barbara Teixeira - marriage about 1664

André de Teves and Leonor de Sousa - marriage about 1670

Manoel Vasconcellos and Barbara de Medeiros - marriage about 1715

Pedro da Ponte and Barbara Cabral - marriage about 1795

José Carvalho de Mello and Anna Maria / Anna de Jesus - marriage about 1795 (I believe that José Carvalho de Mello is a natural of the island of Santa Maria, and I know that Anna Maria / Anna de Jesus is a natural of Santo António.  I THINK that their marriage may have taken place in Bretanha).  I am also 80% sure that the parents of Anna Maria / Anna de Jesus are António de Oliveira and Thereza Botelho.  Since I cannot find José and Anna Maria’s marriage record, I cannot prove that yet.  I believe António de Oliveira is also documented as António de Viveiros Oliveira, and Theresa Botelho is also documented as Theresa Soares Botelho.  If that is the case, then I estimate the top of their branches to be: António de Oliveira and Maria Martins, marriage est. ca 1705, and António de Viveiros Falcão and Theresa da Costa, marriage est. ca 1705.

Manoel de Souza Faria and Anna de Medeiros - marriage about 1725 - Since António Sousa Faria is their son, and in his marriage record it says that he was a natural of Bretanha, I am guessing that Manoel de Sousa Faria and Anna de Medeiros were married in Bretanha too.

Some of the lines that I have in Santo António go back further if you have an interest there too.

Kind Regards,

Lisa
