I don't remember the story of the attraction to Madeira, but my own grandfather's brother from Terceira also moved to Madeira.
I've done a ton of research in the past for people with Madeira ancestry and I could probably count on one hand all the number of people from the Azores I have seen in those records. There was an exposto from Terceira that I recall in the 1700s. And some named Terra moved there from Faial in the 1800s, I believe. My Madeira cousins have a remote link to Pico in the late 1700s.
Actually, I have far more records of Madeirans moving to the Azores.

I came across this entry on familysearch.org. I wonder how often did people from Azores like in this case Sao Miguel move to Madeira? Was it common?--
