His paternal grandfather was Capitain Antonio Figueiro and his maternal grandfather was Capitain Sebastiao Moniz da Camara...his grandmothers were Correia and Gouveia (being this Gouveia from Machico!). and even the ARM cannot trace my ancestors back from Capitain Antonio Figueiro...so baiscally i havent a clue how this Drumond belongs to my family!!! :( Thank you Leandro

Leandro, Have you researched the Figueiro surname? In the Nobiliário da Ilha da Madeira - título FIGUEIRÓS(fol. 70) there's this reference " N.º 1 - Pedro de Figueiró, natual d'a Ilha / d'o Fayal." Maybe by checking out the surname of Figueiro on the island of Fayal (Faial) will help to supply info on your Drummond connection. Are you sure that it's the Drummond surname and not that of Dutra? When you noted that "even the ARM cannot trace my ancestors back from Capt. Antonio Figueiro," it's my understanding that the ARM does not do genealogy research, but simply provides copies of vital records, who told you that they couldn't trace your ancestor? Did Sr. Luis deSousa Mello, prepare your pedigree charts and if so what did he have to say about the Drummond connection. Sr. Mello prepared my charts, and when he linked my direct line to Isabel Anes Drummond, he made the following notation in the notes section of the pedigree chart ~ " Isabel Anes Drummond, daughter of Joao Escorcio (John Drummond) who came from Scotland to Madeira. A descendant of this family was granted the right to have the Drummond crest."
