Dear John,
I have several lines that are ending (so far) in Ajuda da Bretanha. I seem
to be in deep in both the Santo António além Capelas and Ajuda da Bretanha
freguesias. I’m willing to share what I have.
To answer the question in your post, I am not sure if I am a Miranda or not.

For what it is worth Ancestry has this on the origin of the name Cordeiro,
Cordeiro Name MeaningPortuguese and Galician: from cordeiro ‘young lamb’
(Latin cordarius, a derivative of cordus ‘young’, ‘new’), hence a metonymic
occupational name for a shepherd, or a nickname meaning ‘lamb’.
