Hi Kathleen H, Everything in the Azores is organized on the village (freguesia level). You need to know which village/freguesia it was on Faial.
Faial has about 13 churches to search. You could go through 1901-1903 looking for a Rosa born to a Faria. The records cut off in 1911, so there's no way to find Lydia. You could use American resources to trace Rosa/Rose and her siblings. Death certificates, obituaries from the paper, tombstone, kids' baptisms, U.S. Census, naturalization records (hers or spouse's). There's a whole list of things to search in this how to on the Azores GenWeb here: http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/research-aids-a---l/finding-your-portuguese/ Also, if you have an exact year for your Rose/Rosa coming to MA, you can search the Passaportes leaving Horta as well. Happy hunting!
