Does anyone know something about this?

Hello Avintes,
Thank you for your reply.
I would like to know more about the Castanho family (mostly in Madeira) and especially the ones referred to in these books.
Also, is there a picture of the "armas" (coat-of-arms?
Thank you
Anne

Hello Anne,

No, there isn't any picture of the coat of arms and Castanho doesn't seem to be a title (título).

In Alentejo, the Castanho family is a well-known family of new-christians (Jews). Teyh go back to Moshe and Judá Castanho, circa 1450, and they seem to be related to Moshe Ben Maimonides.
The big majority was persecuted by the Inquisition.

Best regards,
JTA

Exma. RootsGirl,
Tenho conhecimento de uns elementos da família Moreno no Sardoal, 11Km de Abrantes: São eles Ana Ferreira Morena legitimada por seu Pai, o Padre Manuel Ferreira Moreno, Capelão da Sé de Lisboa com testamento aberto em 1642. Este Padre Manuel Ferreira Moreno, era filho de Frei Francisco Moreno, sepultados na Igreja matriz de Sardoal. No seu testamento, deixa a sua filha Ana Morena bens avultados e deixa a sua vonade explícita dos descendentes desta virem a ser Familiares do Santo Ofício. Ana Ferreira Moreno casou com Álvaro Dias Chorro da Vila do Sardoal, Cavaleiro da Casa Real, com geração até hoje.
Espero ter contribuido com algumas raízes.
Com os meus cumprimentos,
Fernando Serrão

Dear Bbarahona and Anne,

Yes there is a coat of arms of the family Castanho. You may find it at the site sephardim.com.

Best regards,

Anne,

Have a look at

it's a page from the "Armorial Lusitano" which has been put on-line and from which comes the second extract of your initial message.
