The chapel in Algarvia is called Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Santo Antonio and Sao Pedro de Nordestinho are also nearby. Sao Pedro has its own chapel and I can't recall offhand about Santo Antonio but pretty sure that is its chapel name as well. My ancestors come from from all three of these as well as other locations like Sao Jorge, Ahcada, etc. when you go back further.

Some may have their own chapels. If you can't find someone in Nodestinho, try Nordeste or Achada or Achadinha. Sometimes, even Salga and Agua Retorta or Faial da Terra. The names you have a re quite common in these villages.
