Hi Bill,
You're right. That Santo Amaro is in the parish (freguesia) of Ribeirinha.
So there are just the three Santo Amaro locations you've mentioned that I know about in the Azores.
There is also one in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
Wait, there is a fourth in the Azores. Conceicao, Horta, Faial has a Santo Amaro.
But only two have the status of a parish, the ones on Pico and Sao Jorge.
The other two in Conceicao, Horta and Ribeirinha, Terceira are what we call a "lugar" which is just a neighborhood. There can be a chapel there, but not the parish church.
I happen to have many Santo Amaro, Pico ancestors. And I have done a ton of research in the Santo Amaro village of Sao Jorge, since my late step-mother has ancestors from there and many others have hired me to research families from there. And now my brother is married to someone else with Santo Amaro, Sao Jorge ancestors. For such a small village, they sure spread out when emigrating.
Hope that helps.

I was stationed on Terceira when I was in the air force. I seem to recall a small village called Santo Amaro just outside of Angra between Sao Bento and Ribeirinha.
