Hello Albert,
Fernandes is a surname. Maybe his name was Fernando?
Or maybe you are missing his given name and Fernandes Baleeiro is the compound surname.
Your information about him coming from Graciosa matches what I know about people named Baleeiro. They are found elsewhere in small numbers, so can easily be found passing through Faial, Pico Terceira, Sao Jorge, etc.
No need to travel to Faial for research when they put those records online this past year or so.
The government site is called CCA and it's quoted all the time, nearly every day on this list. Look through past messages for the URL.
Unfortunately, your lack of more information is a huge barrier to making further progress. I don't know this person. It seems to me you will have to find him in Bahia records to learn who he married, and most of all the names of his parents. Then you work back in time from there.

Dear all,
We are trying to find some information on a man named Fernandes Baleeiro from Faial and Graciosa. As far as we know, he emigrated from Faial to Bahia (Brazil) in 1726.
I'm aware that the information is scarce, but perhaps you could gide us on how to begin or where could we try to ask or search before going directly to Faial and spend som,e days there.
Thank you in advance.
Albert Figueras
