Hi Ian Ramona, You do know that the Madeira islands and the Azores islands are 2 different archipelagos, correct? Although some people on this list also research Madeira, the vast majority research the Azores. There are some people that research Hawaii as well on this list.
If no one on this list is able to help you in a couple of days, you should try the IslandRoutes list on Google Groups first and work the ancestor from Hawaii, getting all his info: birth, marriage, death, burial, military (if applicable). http://groups.google.com/group/islandroutes You should also try the website as well: www.yourislandroutes.com for information about how to systematically begin your search.
