Depending on the time frame, you may not see the last names you have for your grandmother and great grandmother. Women were known by their religious names: Maria de Jesus, Ana do Coraçao de Jesus...
There was an Isidoro family on the California coast at San Gregorio 1900-1910. Some moved to the Santa Clara Valley. I can't recall seeing Isidoro as a last in the CCA records online but I have seen it as a first name.
