Fëanor claimed his campaign to wreak his revenge on Morgoth was because of the murder of his father Finwë; but it turned out to be more a matter of regaining the Silmarils in the end for the Sons of Fëanor than a redress of Finwë's murder.

Not entirely true.
Feanor did claim his campaign was to get back at Morgoth, but it was always for both reasons, hand in hand, the murder of his father AND to get the Silmarils back.
Feanor always listed getting back the jewels as one of his three primary reasons for leaving Valinor (the third reason being that he felt the elves were suffocated in Valinor).
