Trindade is not her surname. It's part of her given name. Many women take a devotional name as their middle name.
The 2nd time period (1860 or so - 1911 or so) the women didn't have surnames. So if they didn't have surnames, I don't force one. It didn't happen there and I"m not going to put my American way of research onto a Portuguese naming custom.
