Hi Erin,
Many years ago, I remember a researcher with lots of Sao Miguel ancestry who has Linhares ancestors.
His came from Terceira somewhere that I don't recall, but he traced a lot of them and I can't be certain but it might include your family. It could be possible that anyone named Linhares in Sao Miguel comes from this same Terceira ancestor. It's fairly common on Terceira, though I don't personally have ancestors by that surname. The closest I come is ancestors living in a neighborhood called "Vale de Linhares" in the parish of Sao Bento, Terceira.
The researcher I am thinking of was one one of these genealogy lists and might be on this one. If so, you might be in luck.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on where I could trace back my ancestors records in Sao Miguel. I don't speak Portuguese. I have some info on them. My maternal grandfather was born in 1919 in Rhode Island. His father was Manuel (possible first name) Amaral and his mother was Maria Gloria Linhares both were from Sao Miguel. My maternal grandmother was born in Rhode Island in 1920's. Her mother was Maria Melo born 1902 in Vila Franca in Sao Miguel. My grandmom's father was Manuel Furtado Caetano born 1900 in Riberia Quente, Sao Miguel.
