Cerqueira
Cerqueira is a Portuguese surname.
The Cerqueira Family has its origins best known as coming from Portugal, more
specifically from Camposa, in the parish of Vale, in the termo of Arcos de Valdevez around
from the 14th century.
Its primary origin is Jewish. Levites Sephardim coming from the East settled in the
region of the Iberian Peninsula, it is not known exactly when, because the documents of the Jewish origins from this family are sparse because of the persecution that followed with the Portuguese Inquisition initiated on May 23 and 1536.
