I am glad your mom found a note to confirm what I sent you. Glad I could
help.
I see that many answered your question about names. I also have Ursula in
my ancestors.
There was no law that you had to give your child any last name other than
the one they gave at baptism. I believe it was in 1944 they changed the law
to add father's last name. In Brazil as well as the Azores. There
religious names were probably given to them at the time of their
Confirmation in the Church.

Arlene...
Thought you'd want to know that the information you provided IS my
family. My mom dug out a note with info from her aunt that never
really made sense before, but with your information, we understand now
that the note says Margarida had 2 sisters, Ana and Mary and one
brother, Frank which is on the money with your information. I cannot
thank you enough for this. I'd have looked for a thousand years
before I'd have figured it out on my own. Thank you, thank you,
thank you!
I started entering it my tree program yesterday, but I'm puzzled about
the names. Maria Ursula do Coacao de Jesus, her parents are Antonio
Caetano Martins and Maria Usula.....her father has a different last
name? Is there something here that would tell me Maria's mother's
maiden name?
I've had great difficulty with the naming....is there someplace I can
go to learn about how they get their names??
Thank you again,

Cindy,
I found this in the book, "Familias da Ilha dasFlores":
José António Pimentel, Parents.. António José Pimentel and Maria Claudina,
married Maria Ursula do Coração de Jesus from S. Caetano, her parents
António Caetano Martins and Maria Usula. From the Morros.
Children were: Maria b.8/6/1876; Francisco b.8/12/1877; Margarida
b.6/17/1879; Ana b.2/27/1882.
I am sorry but it does not list any other families that is connected to
them.

I dug out myFloresfamily. I don't have much to share, just scant
information. I keep hoping to be connected to someone.
Here's myFloresfamily:
Margarida Ursela Pimentel, b June 1879 inFlores, immigrated alone at
age 15 to New Bedford
(married Jose da Silva, of San Miguel, 1897, in New Bedford who
later became Joseph S Sylvia)
Margarida (Maggie) parents: Jose Antonia (could be Antonio)
Pimentel -Flores
Maria Ursela Pimentel -Flores
I believe Margarida had a brother "Frank" who married Annie Martin.
That's it. That's all I know. I only got that from the New Bedfored
marriage records. I don't even know if Maggie's parents came here.
Don't know Maggie's death date yet either but my mom thinks she was
buried at St. John's in New Bedford, so I don't have a death
certificate that might have had additional information. Maggie's
parents were both Pimentels? Or did Maggie not know her mother's
maiden name? I'm dead in the water on anything further.
