Hi Marilyn Another popular name in the azores that starts with C is Costa. Some surnames are popular in some islands and villages and not others I believe the surname Luis is frequently found on the island of Faial and Madalena, Pico. If I recall I don't think it is found very frequently in Sao Jorge which is where many Azoreans from Merced are from. The other islands I'm as familiar with.
