The book  Antroponímia primitiva da Madeira by Nunes & Kremer - is a relevant study about the names and surnames found in records from the Madeira island archives (XV and XVI). It is an incredible resource for genealogy, history and culture with several bibliographical references. Several descendants of those first settlers moved to Portugal, Azores, Brazil and USA later on.
