My grandmother's first cousin married a Joaquim Flores. I just recently found his birth on July 9, 1868 in Topo Sao Jorge. His parents were Constantino Jose Flores and Maria Silveira. I'm out of contact with that side of the family and so far I have not connected via DNA test with any of his wife's relatives (I would be related to her, not to him).
Until I found indications that he was from Topo I did not even suspect he was from Sao Jorge because, as you mention, the name is not common. At least I haven't seen it on the other end of the island where my ancestors came from. Mary On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 11:55 AM 'Jeremy G.
