Escudeiro de Infante OWT says born in Funchal Per Paulo: As far as I know, the story of Adão and Eva is real, and documental evidence exists of the name Adão persisting, even as patronimic, throught Gonçalo Aires (not Anes) descendancy. As for Gonçalo Aires, full name is Gonçalo Aires Ferreira, and was Zarco's right hand man. Possibly the only settler of the first bunch with some nobility, but no one knows who was his wife/mistress.

Per Miguel- Gonçalo Aires Ferreira the first navigator ever to have set foot in Madeira. And Gonçalo Aires Ferreira is the founding father of all Ferreiras Casta Grande. And he is a descendant of the Lords of Cavaleiros, in Portugal, a powerful, noble and old family. The "good" Ferreiras from Portugal stem por the House of Cavaleiros. He was a learned man, considered to be the wisest of the bunch of half-pirates that composed the first crew of João Gonçalves Zarco ship.
