Hi Katie, Double check your dates. I'm not going to guess where your typo is, but there is no way anyone alive today can have greats born in 1983.
The Azores islands are an autonomous region of Portugal. The Madeira islands are a different autonomous region. The Cape Verde islands are their own nation today. The Madeira list is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/madeira-genealogy You will find at least a dozen of us on the Azores list that have both Azores and Madeira ancestry. I don't understand why you are only using an example for your ancestor and not your real ancestor. You can find more how to get started here: https://goo.gl/vOijK0 Also, a Portuguese genealogy conference will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from Tues, Aug. 29 - Fri, Sept. 1.
