help with family names
I was hoping someone can help me with this problem.The names are as follows:
Jose da Costa, Perriera
and
Clara dos Anjos, Mattos
and
Clara dos Anjos, Mattos
I was told, da Costa and dos Anjos would refer to the mothers name (especially since I know Perriera is the father's).However, for Jose, his mother was Francisca Luzeira, so where would 'da Costa' come from.
