Lisa, Compounded names are different and are probably not connected to the others. You'll trace your Silveira de Andrade for a couple of generations and you will see it change, perhaps to just Silveira or just Andrade, or maybe something completely different. In my research experience with my family, I see the compounded name come from somewhere in the family tree (someone would have been a Silveira and someone else would have been the Andrade).
