This family is of ancient origin and the first one who used the surname was called Fernão Nunes de G., contemporary and D. João I, son of Nuno Fernandes de Bobadela, mayor of G. at the mercy of D. Fernando, made in the year of 1368, confirmed by D. João I in 1384, and his wife, Teresa Anes. Nuno Fernandes de Bobadela came, by variance, from Fernão Baveca, a contemporary of D. Afonso III, married to Teresa Pires de Vides, daughter of Pedro Pires de Vides and his wife, D. Maria Fernandes de Bobadela, who took him in some farms in the parish of S. Miguel de Bobadela, in Trás-os-Montes. Fernão Nunes de G. took the nickname of the village of this name, in the province of Beira, that his father was mayor, as the genealogists say. He was received with D. Brites de Melo, daughter of Rui Vaz de Melo, lord of G., and his wife, D. Aldonça de Castro. This marriage gave rise to the weapons that use the surname G .. From Fernão Nunes de G. and his wife, D. Brites de Melo, children were born, by whom the surname was propagated. Timbre: an extended red eagle, besotted with silver. These weapons are, as already said, those of the nicknames Melo and Castro.
