Joy, I think the de generes are in the Angra archives (since the diocese seat was Angra). I know one day they will be online, but I don't know if they can currently be accessed. Joao Ventura who worked in that division of the archive may know if they can be accessed or not.
Look at the NEPS database and see if you can find your ancestor that way: www.neps.ics.uminho/pt/ I don't know if they have all the freguesias on Faial up there yet. There's a fill in the blank letter on the Azores Genweb. I think Kathy has a hyperlink at the top where you found the address. If you don't see it, just scroll down to the bottom.
