Furtado - Preader Family of Santa Clara County, CA
Hello,
I am researching the Furtado Preader families of Santa Clara County, CA.These families immigrated from the Azores,Portugal, to CA.They lived and live still in the San Jose, Los Gatos, Redwood City areas.My Great Great Grandparents were Manuel and Jenny Furtado Preader.
Manuel made up the Preader surname, but I think the original surname is a commmon Portugese surname. Perhaps Preia or something like that.They both lived on the same island in the Azores. Manuel became a U S Citizen. I have his letter of declaration. I know nothing of the Furtados, and nothing of Manuel's family before he immigrated to the U S.
If anyone knows of these families, I sure would appreciate any info you wish to share.
