Diane, do you know or can you find out what island(s) your ancestors' neighbors might have been from? It was not unusual from emigrants from the same island (even same village) to cluster together upon arrival at their destination.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Looking for help finding relatives from the Azores
I meant their neighbors in the US. Perhaps if you can find information about some of those neighbors' island(s) of origin more easily, you could then try checking records from there first to see if that's where your ancestors came from.
