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. Both
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 you

I found information on the internet apparently a Flemish nobleman/
pioneer Willam Van der Haegen, (later adopted Silviera as his name)
was one of the early settlers. Perhaps Ursula came from there.
I was also surprised to find so much information at the John Carter

Thanks for the name help infoif Coracao de Jesus is a religious
term, then it's not her maiden name? The naming customs have my head

I don't understand the naming process as Maria Ursula de Jesus has "do

Arlene!
This is terrific info! Margarida's birth date in this record is
almost on the money, June 1879. I never had a birth day date...never
found their deaths either. Anyway, family history notes that Maggie

who was born 8 Nov 1856.

Although I have not been able to find acutal documentation over there
to prove it, my Pimentel side is from Flores, so pour me a glass and
