Origin of Brum surname- van der Bruyn

[luiznoia]

The oldest reference I've found for this name related to the Azores

is a Guilherme de Brum, born Willem van der Bruyn in 1485.

He married Violante Vaz Ferreira Pimentel. The European

Genealogy site this is from doesn't list places, but this must be

one of the original settlers of the Azores from the Flanders/ Holland

area. According to the tree given , their daughter Catarina de Brum

married Joao da Silveira about 1544. He is the grandson of

Guilherme Silveira ( Willem Van der Hagen) mother being

Margarida da Silveira, father Joz da Terra ( Jose van Aertrickje)

Anyone with a history of the Azores book want place these people?

Let me add this found online from Robert Santos collection of submitted stories quoting James Guills History of the Azores.

 

"Then into the picture came Willem Van der Bruyn from Bruges, Flanders the one dealer of the cloth industry. Mr. Bruyn in 1436 moved to Funchal, Madeira by permission of Prince Henry the Navigator where his sister Isabel was Queen of Flanders. Here in Madeira he continued the dye business with supply from Madeira and Azores Islands. The urzela and pastel plants are indigenous to these islands as his son conferred in Terceira where he married Barbara Silveira whose father, Willem Van der Hagen with his ship moved people from Bruges, Flanders to the Islands of Terceira and Faial and his children changed their name to Silveira."

Here is repost from a 1999 PORTUGAL L Rootsweb list by Martin Verhaegh.

Flemish Emigrants to the Azores, Roll call

 

 

Roll call may not be the right term, but the process allows me to ask
the question: where are we with respect to defining the bridge at about
the year 1460 in Flanders and in the Azores.
Since I know nothing about the after 1460 period, I have concentrated on
the before 1460 period in The Southern Netherlands. Somehow we have to
make crossover. My question:
For each Flemish ancestral family name, what is the earliest date known
for records in the Azores. Some data on van Huerter (Hurtere, Utra,
d'Utra, Dutra, Huerta) and van der Ha(e)gen (Silveira) have been
highlighted. What else do we know after 1460 on other Flemish related
family names?

Flemish Emigration to the Azores
When I completed the genealogy of my family name Verhaegh in The
Netherlands in 1996, I was left with many questions. Surely, the
research covering three branches from 1270 to 1996 and spread over
various countries, would leave many ancestor questions unanswered. One
of these likely ancestors was Willem van der Hagen (Haeghe) from Bruges
in Belgium. A lucky break came when I met some Azorean researchers at
the LDS Family History Center in San Luis Obispo, California. Doris
Mello and Arline Silveira relayed the story they read in James Guill's
book: "Azores Islands History". Willem van der Hagen was one of the
sailing ship captains taking emigrants to the Azores about 1466.
Once he became a settler on the island of Sao Jorge, he changed his name
to Guilherme da Silveira. After enquiring about this Portuguese name, I
learned that he had translated directly from the Dutch. Haag or Haegh in
Dutch means: hedge, shrub or bush, just like Silveira in Portuguese. An
interesting baptismal registration with the same meaning in Latin of the
family name in Holland was "de Dumo".
A short history lesson: Holland and Belgium, prior to 1830, were one
country called The Netherlands. With a total of 17 provinces, Flanders
was one of the dominant provinces in the middle ages, located in the
Southern Netherlands. The term Nether means low, and in Europe they
still refer to the Low Countries when they mean both Belgium and Holland
(the latter one officially called The Netherlands). Both countries
have the common Dutch language, in Belgium called Flemish. The written
Dutch and Flemish text has only minor variations. There is every reason
to believe that people from other provinces joined the emigrants from
Flanders, so strictly speaking, we really are dealing here with
emigration from 15th century Southern Netherlands.
While I am primarily interested in Willem van der Hagen, together with
hundreds of Silveiras in the Azores and North America, there were many
other Netherlandic emigrants to the Azores. One of the more prominent
ones was Joss van Huerter (Hurtere), later on in the Azores called de
Utra (d'Utra, Dutra, Huerta). The town of Horta is reportedly named
after him. He was the first Capitao Donatorio of Faial and Pico.
Another famous Flemish emigrant Van de Olm, later known as Fernao Dulmo,
settled Quatro Ribeiras on Terceira. A well known emigrant and early
world trader was Willem van der Bruyn, known as Guilherme Brum. There is
credible evidence that some of these emigrants were noblemen, an area of
research receiving considerable interest lately.

An avid researcher named André Claeys of Brugge wrote a manuscript in Flemish language in the year 2007.

I recall that he used original Brazilian and Flemish records.

 

His purpose was to write both a history of the Flemish contribution to the settlement of the Azores as well as to provide a genealogy of descendants of major players.

 

He covers the above in periods A. 1427-1580 B. from 1580 to 1640 and also provides chapters on each century following up to current.

 

Here are the names of the principal Flemish settlers:

1. Jacob van Brugge,  Jácome de Bruges,
2. Joost de Hurtere,  Joz d’Utra,
3. Josine de Hurtere/Josina d’Utra,
4. Boudewijn de Hurtere/Balduino d’Utra,
5. De famile van Aertrycke,  Jorge da Terra,
6. Willem van der Haeghen,  Guilherme da Silveira, .
7. Willem van der Bruyn/Gui!herme de Brum,
8. Ferdinand van Olm(en)/ Fernão Dulmo,
9. Bulscamp/Gaspar Gonçalves Bulcão,

 

I cannot read well enough to get more than a very general idea of what is being said.

 

I attempted but failed in an attempt to use an auto-translator to help convert his work to English.

 

It is quite a volume.

Brasão da Família Silveira dos Açores descendente de Willem van der Hagen.

Willem van der Haegen, por vezes designado por Willelm van der Hagen ou Willelm van der Haagen, aportuguesado para Guilherme da Silveira, nobre flamengo que em 1470, desembarcou na Ilha do Faial a convite de Joss van Hurtere, seu 1.º capitão do donatário. Liderando uma segunda vaga de povoadores, leva consigo sua família e familiares, mestres de mais variados ofícios. Sentindo posteriormente alguma má vontade e rivalidade por parte de Hurtere, decide abandonar a ilha. Hagen fixa-se em Quatro Ribeiras, na Ilha Terceira, fazendo sua lavoura de trigo e cultivo de pastel (Isactis Tinctoria Lin.), antes produzido na Picardia e na Normandia, que exportava para a Flandres. Indo a Lisboa, encontra-se com D. Maria de Vilhena, viúva de D. Fernão Teles de Meneses e tutora de Rui Teles, seu filho. Esta cede os direitos de exploração da ilha em troca do pagamento dos direitos sobre as Ilhas das Floreiras - nome por que eram então conhecidas as ilhas das Flores e do Corvo.

Por volta de 1478, Hagen ter-se-á fixado na Ilha das Flores, no sítio denominado Ribeira da Cruz. Devido ao isolamento das demais ilhas e dificuldades nas comunicações, a exploração agrícola da ilha não era aliciante dada a dificuldade em exportar. Decide então abandonar a ilha, retornando para a Ilha Terceira, e desta para a Ilha de São Jorge onde se fixou definitivamente no sítio do Topo. Viveu com tanta abundância que somente de dízimo da seara que cultivava, segundo diz Gaspar Frutuoso, pagava cada ano 50 a 60 moios (Livro 6.º das Saudades da Terra). Veio a falecer cerca de 1500, estando sepultado na ermida anexa à Solar dos Tiagos, na vila do Topo, hoje em ruínas.

O apelido flamengo Haag que significa bosque, acabou por ser vertido em português por Silveira. Outra variação deturpada do seu nome é Guilherme Vanderaga.

As famílias com o apelido Silveira nos Açores, regra geral, descendem do flamengo Willem van der Hagen. Os seus descendentes espalharam-se por todas as ilhas dos Açores, embora na ilha Graciosa surja outro ramo onde os Silveiras ali estabelecidos constituem um ramo dos Silveiras do continente português.
