Bob O, Everything is organized by church level (at least back then).
Faial has about 13 freguesias. That's not too many to research, but you have really common names. The CITCEM (used to be called NEPS) is here: http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html Warning though: This database was created by humans and therefore has some human error in it. Once you find your people, cross check with the actual records on the CCA site.
