1) originally, the surname in portuguese was either Costa or da Costa.
2) St. Michael's is the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores.
3) to trace your ancestors on the island of Sao Miguel, you would need to know the town or village they came from. Once you know that, you can begin searching for records of family from that town/village.
