You may have to search through Faial and Sao Jorge islands birth records. I did a white pages directory search and found the surname Braia in Castelo Branco Faial.
A quick check of the Horta passports turned up a Braia out of the island of Sao Jorge. Nothing from Faial for those dates.

I cannot find any records that they were married or even together on a census. (Antonio and Catherine) There is an Antionio (Anthony) Brier (and Bryer) and Catherine O'Brien married in Massachusetts, Antonio came to New Bedford Mass per his naturalization record, if in fact that one is my ancestor.

All kids born NY. Living in Messina, St. Lawrence County NY. Also 2 boarders. I am very aware of this name changing as my family came from Yugoslavia now Croatia in 1800 to Portugal and depending on where the family is now living the name is spelled 4 different ways!!! Living now in Croatia, Italy, Portugal, Brazil and U. S. Oh. Also Costa Rica. And eventually I found all of them and visited them in these countries.
