The Azores GenWeb Site is the place to go for help. Kathy Cardoza has maps of each Island along with the Freguezia names(village), and the church names. You need to print each and every Island with it's info so that when your ancestor ends up being from another village or island, you will recognize the name! Print out the Genealogical Word List also so that you can start picking out the words.
Joseph, do you live near Monterey CA? I work at the Family History Center (FHC) here and would be happy to help you start to navigate your way through the records.
