the 1900 census Oakland, The family just before Alfred and Emma is that of
Tony and Amelia Avelor.
These are Emma's parents and sisters. I haven't found a marriage record for

Cindy; I am certainly no expert but; from what I have learned, women in the
Azores in this time period did not routinely use a surname. Again, this
largely depends on the time frame. Children could have a surname of their
mother, father, grandparent on either side, distant relative, etc. If

Adding to what Sam said, very often male children would be given their
mother's surname (when she had one). This would often happen when the mother
had no male siblings to pass on the the grandfather's surname. It would
sometimes happen when the mother was from a more prominant family.
