Welcome to the MVPGP (Martha's Vineyard Portuguese Genealogy Project) Queries Board.

Are you researching a Portuguese family with Martha's Vineyard connections (including families who came to Martha's Vineyard from the Azores, Cape Verde, or Madeira?) Post your questions here!

Although Portuguese immigrants are documented on Martha's Vineyard as early as the late 1700s, the majority of the Portuguese immigrants who settled on the island of Martha's Vineyard (in Dukes County, Mass.) arrived during the second half of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. Some lived first in New Bedford, Fall River, Providence, Boston, and other maritime communities in southern New England before eventually settling on the island.

Some common Martha's Vineyard - Portuguese Surnames include: Alley, Alwardt, Amaral, Andrade, Andrews, Araujo, Baptiste, BenDavid, Bernard, Bettencourt, Borges, Burgess, Campos, Canha, Cecelio, Comancho, Combra, Correia, Correira, Correllus, Costa, Cournoyer, Coutinho, DaCosta, DaRosa, DaSilva, DeBettencourt, DeCosta, DeFrates, DeSilva, DePriest, Devine, Dias, Duart, Duarte, Enos, Estrella, Ferreira, Ferro, Figueiredo, Fortes, Francis, Frank, Frates, Fullin, Golart, Gonsalves, Goulart, Jardin, Joseph, King, Lima, Lopes, Maciel, Madeiras, Madeiros, Marshall, Maseda, Medeiros, Mello, Mendez, Metell, Moreis, Nunes, Oliver, Oliveria, Pacheco, Pachico, Paiva, Perry, Peters, Ponte, Prada, Rebello, Rezendes, Rogers, Rose, Salvadore, Santos, Searle, Sequeira, Serpa, Silva, Silvia, Swartz, Sylva, Sylvia, Thomas, Vieira, Viera, and Vieria (among many, many others!)
