I'm Cape Verdean, born in Fox Point, Providence Rhode Island. My grandparents came from Brava, Cape Verde. I'm glad to see this video. Their are many of us. My family's names are Mendes, Gonsalves, and Gomes. I grew up having to accept a race because our people were not recognized, especially on any job or government application. You were either black, white, asian, or hispanic. Sometimes the option of other. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much sir for this knowledge. I’m a 40 year old Cape Verde born in providence Rhode Island. My parents was born here. My grandmother came here when she was a little girl. My great grandmother was born in brava. My last name is Andrews. I was always told is was Andrade but changed. I heard so much about our history but nothing makes too much sense so I’m reaching. This is the best I came across so far. Thanks brother
My great great grandfather was Cape Verdean, he left Cape Verde in 1800’s, he was 18 years old, how and why he came to Mozambique we don’t know but hearing your story of the Portuguese going to Goa wich the route to Goa would pass by Mozambique another Portuguese speaking colony maybe he came on one of those ships?? looking for a better life??, all I know is that the Cape Verdean Community in Mozambique is quite old and my great great grandfather was one of them, we are his descendants, he was born in Fogo Island, he left Fogo and never returned. I have done my DNA test a few years ago and by my surprise I could find distant cousins in the US today some with exactly the same surname as my great great grandfather( Monteiro Barbosa) there’s the Fernandes, Do Canto, Pina and many more, I would love one day to go deep on how and why he left Cape Verde, was his destination really Mozambique?
At the time, many Capeverdeans especially those with lighter skin tone were considered Portuguese, and as a matter of fact, they had power over other black people. Most probably he went to Mozambique to be "capataz" and he ended up stuck there.
Meus irmãos por favor ignorem os idiotas no comentários dizendo que nos somos de Israel ou nativos de America. Nos somos CABO VERDIANOS , somos uma mistura de várias etnias e temos de ter orgulho disso!!!
im a Lopes, Lopez.... hey brother!!!! my great grandfather was Portuguese, but found out he was Jewish decent... i cried, im so proud that my great grandfather was a survivor!!!!!!! and so we're my cape verdian family!!!!!!! we have been tortured, but we are a great people!!!!!!! cape Verde and Jewish have beautiful relationship!!!!!!! much love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
I love it 🤍 what the parents said was backed up by the research - my mother’s word of mouth of our personal history is also solid. She knows the names of 9 aunts and uncles, who they married, what the aunts married last names were, how, when and where people died - I had to write it all down because I was like “wait! This info is too rich for me to not capture it while I can!”
Luis: Italian from Genoa Antonio de Noli was one of the discoverer of Cape Verde along with Diego Gomes, working under the Portuguese flag. First wave of Jews in CapeVerde happened in 1700s from mostly North of Portugal, when they got to Capeverde (along with others deported to CV) they became Christianized Jews - aka as 'Novos Cristaos'. Long before the second wave from Marroco. Therefore mostly, portuguese people settlers in Fogo, Praia, Santa Antao etc were in fact Jews - with 'Portuguesized' names. In Praia there is stilla section of cemetery, for Jews, as in Fogo, Boavista etc. Now the intermarriage between people, were not invented by Portuguese but by 'wealth' and aristocractic people. Interesting as well, our African heritage is very diverse, from West coast of Africa and as far down to Angola. Many people that owned slaves were descending of slaves themselves. Interesting presentation
The Portuguese had exiled Yahudah in several places along the W. African coast which includes Angola. Initially Portugal took those Yahudim exiled from Spain if they could pay a tax. Then after King Ferdinan & his Queen Isabella's daughter offered to the King of Portugal, then Portugal expelled the Yahudim. They provided ships to wherever they chose in a small window of time, & when that window closed things became very brutal in Portugal for the Yahudim still there. Cape Verde & Sao Tome became places to where Yahudah were exiled. Indeed those exiles were used for slave labor not just trade. They raised sugar cane, were traded for goods & sent to the West Indies, Brazil & eventually N. America. His details are very interesting regarging Capeverdean whaling community in both Hawaii & mainland USA. Also the facts about how some blacks owned slaves. In America, some Yahudim who were able to purchase their freedom, & then when they could afford to purchase their loved ones, they purchased them as slaves to redeem them from chattle slavery. This was practiced in Africa & throughout the diasporah, for this practice of kinsmen redemption is in Torah. Those sold in the Atlantic slave trade were primarily Israelites which most don't know, because they were prohibited to speak their language & practice their true faith of Yahwehism. Some had been forceably "converted" to Christianity & to Islam. Now, most people today believe the Jewish community in modern State of Israel are the same people, but they are not genetically nor historically, but come from Germany (98%). They converted to Yahwehism or Judaism about the 8th century. Benaya Israel' channel "Hidden Hebrews" covers much of the life & time of Yahudah in Spain & Portugal & where they were dispersed or enslaved. I find this gentleman's info to correlate with the history on that channel. There are spiritual implications for Yahudah & Ephraim reawakening to our Israelite roots: it's been prophesied.
@@nkeveo6967YAH bless you for stating the truth the Jews that came from Spain and Portugal to Cape Verde were the original black Jews !!! White Jews are not Israelites they are fake Rev 2:9 !!!
My grandson just sent this to me. This is great. Thank you! I'm going to send it out to a ton of family & friends. Antoinette Pires Gonsalves ( birth name) Tunga played at the end is my uncle Joli Gonsalves. My dad's brother. That came as a pleasant surprise!
Any other Lopes on here from Falmouth mass, ???? Related to to Jones rd? Let me know! My dads family Cape Verdean and Portuguese from there. I would love to learn more about my Cape Verdean history. Evelyn and Manny, had 9 children, I know they had a landscaping company at 1 point. My grandparents have passed and so did my dad. I wasn’t raised close to them but I have always felt that I need to explore my heritage.
my grandfather was a lopes and he lived on brava but i am not sure where he was born, His name was Anterio or Antonio something along those lines but he went by the name :Teddy" with friends. He died when my father was young before they all moved to America, but before he had my father and his siblings with my grandmother he did have a daughter, which sadly my grandmother and my father and his siblings had to leave in order to go to america@@ITavares
James!! 7/16/22 Awesome!! I was searching something else and there was your video which I had never seen. Interesting points that I had never heard. I remember you saying that we are related. In 2021, Mary Ellen Cecil, Library Assistant at New Bedford Library sent me records that my maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Lopes, that she was the daughter of Pedro Gonçalves and Jironina Lopes. Also, Donald Lopes turned up on Ancestry as my 3rd-4th cousin. I shared this video on Facebook and sent to people and connected relatives.
Turns out this guy is my dad's second cousin. 🤯 Mind blown! My family resides in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Team Alves 😅 My dad says this guy's nickname is Bobo rofl
I need to connect with this Attorney. - My Grandfather is from Cape Verde, with Lopes as a last name. My Grandfather came to the Americas on a Schooner from Cape Verde in 1924.
Got Spain and Portugal from my paternal and Fula Guinea Bissau from my maternal dna from African ancestry. Had Cape Verde from 23&me for a bit. But my surname is Ragland so what’s the deal?
Thank you so much for doing this, could you please reach out to me so we can talk.. I live in NC and I try to explain to people, who I am and they don’t believe me.. I did a presentation at strayer’s university about CV..” I’m so proud to be African, because my mom always says that we are Portuguese..
Hello, I'm a Reberio, I don't know if it's spelled correctly according to the language. I don't know much about my great-grandfather, my father's dad, or his culture. I'd love a dna test one day to see how much Portuguese is actually in my blood. For now, I have the last name, I'm sure there's an interesting story that goes with that.
Very interesting to hear about the changed surnames. I have about 10 CV dna matches and 2 Azores matches. 5 of the CV matches share a woman who is either their great grandmother or gggrandmother (she was a Rodrigues Pires) i've been trying to find the connection b/c my haplogroup is most common in Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde. Their ancestor was from Fogo which i've heard was the other large slaveholding island. I've been trying to see if I could find info about her parents, siblings or aunts/uncles to see how they got to the US
my family is from Brava, My grand father was known as Anterio "Teddy" Lopes (I am named after him). On my maternal grandmothers side my great grandfather is Jaoa Jose nunes. her name was iolanda "yolanda" nunes lopes. Please reach out to me if you might be a cousin!
@@prettylittleinvestor No you wrong. In Portuguese it's pronounced Lo Pes like he said, and in Kriolu (CapeVerdean) it's pronounced Lo Pi. Low Pes it's the English way of saying it.
I was raised in Mozambique since the age of 2. My father cousin she was born in Mozambique and she attended school up to high school. So, when you stated that there wasn't schools in the Portuguese colonies! Please be specific and tell us when it was implemented....There is enough info on the ex-colonies in Portugal. You could get the dates that Portugal set up schools in they ex-colonies. Portugal at one stage exchanged a great percentage of black people from the Sao Tome e Principe island and exchange them for the Cabo Verde black/colored population. (mulatos like you). Remember, that there is a lot of people that has full knowledge of the Portuguese history, including the disgusting slavery practice by the Portuguese....
It's a lot history that he couldn't cover even if write a book. He's passing what he have heard and it's a lot he didn't hear like a lot of us don't. Some information are new to me. I was born in capeverd and my son that was born in America was question me about. He shared this video to me.
Cape verde has a history most people don't know about or are in denial of. Cape Verde was uninhabited. Columbus and other spanish and Portuguese stole American Indians away and left them on cape verde. 100 years later the first person stolen from africa and taken to America came from Cape Verde and was taken to America. The irony in this event is the fact that the people who were being stolen from Cape Verde were the descendants of the american indians that were brought there a 100 years earlier. This is documented and the slave trader who stole these cape Verdeans away stated that these negros were different that the other. They had long hair, their food and culture was different, they had Americans names, and fought the with bow and arrows and were always at war with the wolofs(senegal people). So although John Hawkins wasn't aware of the history of these people he noted that they were very different from mainland Africans. This is important because they teach us that some black people in america were taken from africa. They tell us they came from mainland africa but most of those stories aren't documented and are conjecture. We know for a fact and have the records of who was taken from cape verde. Likewise we have records of Americans Indians being brough there when it was uninhabited. Please do not dispute history you have not studied.
They say we’re different from the other tribes in Africa because we are Israelites we descend from Abraham Issac and Jacob we are not hamites like the wolofs
Vocês estão pedidos meus amigos. Eu não sei onde vocês acham essas ideias sobre nossa identidade. Que tristeza ver os meus irmãos acreditando nessas bobagem.
We, the Black peoples who have been scattered all around the world, are the Hebrew Israelites of the Scriptures/Bible. God/Yahweh used the Gentiles/Europeans nations to scatter his people. Nehemiah 1 “7We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that You gave Your servant Moses. 8Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses when You said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9but if you return to Me and keep and practice My commandments, then even if your exiles have been banished to the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.’… Ezekiel 22 “14Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act. 15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness. 16And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”…”. Ezekiel 20 “41When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through you in the sight of the nations. 42Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.…”
Wow it’s so beautiful to see other Cape Verdeans acknowledging their true identity we are the Israelites Gods chosen people Deuteronomy 7:6 may YAH bless you and keep spreading the word
@@BisraelORbkilled …all glory to the Most High Yah family. I’m actually a Hebrew Israelite in America of the tribe of Yehudah/Judah. My ancestors were brought here on slave ships as prophesied in Deuteronomy 28:68. Our Heavenly Father woke me up in 2020 and showed me the revelation of who we were through His word and confirmed it through His Holy Spirit. Our captors and oppressors lied to us and they hide our true identity but Yah knows His own. I rejoice that you too are walking in light and in the truth. Be blessed and may your soul prosper.
