Have you gotten copies of their death certificates?
It might list who their parents were.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help on starting our Azorean family history
I am excited to find this google group and am enjoying all the posts.
I have felt inspired to research my husband's Azorean history for the
last 10 years and haven't done much. I am amazed how little his
father and aunt know (who are now in their late 80's). They don't
even know what their grandparents first names were! We do know that
Theodore (Theotonio) Martins (my father in laws father) was born in
San Bartolomeu, Terceira around 1886 and died 1935 in Patterson, CA
and his wife Madeline Rocha was born in 1896 in Porto Judeo, Terceira
and died in 1957 in Santa Clara, CA. I have gone to Family History
Centers and ordered microfilm that my friend who is Portuguese could
not even begin to make out (the scribble)
Anyone have advice on where to start? Is there a good way to search
passengers on ships that came over?...I can guess they came in the
1920's but no idea how they traveled to California.
