It is best to test the oldest generation. If the parent who has the Faial ancestry is alive, test that person. If you have access to a sibling of the grandparent generation, test that person. If not, you are it.
I don't know what company you tested with or approximate date you tested. Or what type of DNA test you took. I need that information or I can't tell you what to do next.
