Does anyone know it's origin? My fraternal great grandmother from Fetieras, Sao Miguel has her name listed as Marianna Augusta on her death certificate on Maui.

Garcia. She is listed as born in Achadinha, Nordeste, Sao Miguel. I have a feeling her husband Joao Pacheco Mendonca was probably from the same area. I have yet to find his ship's manifest.
