Hmmm, I'll try a different, non-native speaker angle. I'm looking for any place in the Azores that starts with a P.
Santa Maria: nothing Sao Miguel: Pico da Pedra, Ponta Delgada, Ponta Garca, Porto Formoso, Povoacao Terceira: Porto Judeu, Praia da Vitoria Graciosa: Praia Sao Jorge: nothing Pico: Piedade, Prainha do Norte Faial: Pedro Miguel, Praia do Almoxarife, Praia do Norte Flores: Ponta Delgada Corvo: nothing Peekpike...I know the people at my local Portuguese hall pronounce Pico as Peek. But you have an Austrialian accent and a Portuguese one, so it will sound different. And you said the copy was in a crease. The only freguesia that starts with Peek (corruption of Pico) is Pico da Pedra on Sao Miguel island. Which is what Dano said. But Pedra isn't even close to Pike. And it's not Faial island. How sure are you that it's Faial? Didn't see you ordered DNA. If this is your only Portuguese line and you match others from Faial, then I would think it's Faial.
