Tony, I have her age on the passport application and ship’s passenger list from her emigration to Hawaii. I have her birth year narrowed down to 1838 or 1839. My struggle is finding the correct parish. Could all those hard to decipher words after her name on her children’s baptism records indicate what parish she is from?

It will require a "swag" ( scientific wild ass guess) and you may end up searching several decades to find it. If you are lucky the casemento will list the ages at time of marriage,that will narrow your search for her baptism record otherwise it will be time for another "swag". I usually start at age 20 and go from there ( haven't had to go younger yet). Also if you are lucky she will not have a common name i.e.: Maria. Depending on time period she may be described as pais incognito or nao pais sabido. hope this helps Tony -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
