Hi Fawnie,
This type of request is one of the most common I get, especially when someone wants to make a trip and experience the joy of talking to relatives. My brother is doing this exact thing next week for Pico.
You can email me privately with the details of those from Pico and I can check my database, the largest in the world for Pico and Terceira, and I might be able to tell you if you're lucky. But I can say it's one of the biggest challenges because they could have moved away to anywhere and there might not be anyone left.
On my first trip to Pico in 1992 I wanted to see if any of my grandmother's cousins in Sao Roque were still living there. Turns out everyone already moved to California, but I did find if I went back an extra generation I was able to find living cousins still in Sao Roque.
I did have success finding a distant cousin on my Leal da Rosa side from Piedade. It was because this particular surname combination was unique enough and stayed the same for generations. Other times these combinations are no longer used.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] How to find relatives still living in Faial
and/or Pico

Good Day,I was wondering how I would begin a search to find relatives still living in Faial and/or Pico.After my search for the Silveira family, I believe that their are descendents of my G.G. grandmother that never left the Faial and/or Pico to come to America. I have the names of the siblings, yet I am not sure how to go about searching generations after.Has anyone ever searched for descendents of their ancestors, in the Azores, and found them? If so, how did you do this?Your guidance is greatly appreciated.~Happiness and Smiles~ Fawnie--
