Richard, Cisaltina is the current spelling. The letter "C" is soft sounded and the letter "S" is sounded off as in the letter "Z", (Seezaltina), and yes it is a common name.
Ramalho is in the parish of Sao Jose, Ponta Delgada. However, there is no one by this name born there in 1891, 1892 and 1893. Your message is unclear to me, you mentioned her real name was Cisaltina de Almeida. What other name did she use? Where exactly was the newspaper clipping from? The mother's name would be "Josefina" Midle name de Nostremente, probably a "Christian" invocation name misapplied. If I were to guess, probably Josefina do Nascimento do Couto. What was her father's name?
