Pieternella used to be a first name, the same goes for Petrona and Candelaria. There are plenty of Pieternella around. Monte is a very specific name originating in the Western part of Curaçao: two former plantations Knip and Zevenbergen (Lagun). I do not know the name Vavaal.
You can look up your ancestors in the database www.wiewaswie.nl
if you know the first name of family members until about 1930. In this database births are included until 1909, marriages until 1929 and death until 1959.
