I just stumbled upon this post, as I am new to the group. I have Martins from Feteira, Faial in my family as well, and I am not finding much more on that part of the family. Rosa Silvina Martins (b 1898 - ?, married to Rufino Silveira de Faria), and her mother Rosa Silvia Martins (AKA Rosa Silveira Martins, and Rosa Margarida Martins). I am curious if these names are familiar to you. Thank you for your time.
