This is not a Portuguese family member but a family member did a DNA study - 37. He matched another person same surname (first time this has happened on any DNA study we have done so far...same surname match.....he matches as follows....12 - 1 exact match, 25 - 1 exact match, 37 - Genetic Distance 1, this being the same person in each case. What are the chances that this is a close member of the family? I am hoping you are going to say pretty good. He matched several others...25 - 40 Genetic distance 2, 37 - 11 Genetic distance 4. I did email him and hope he will reply as he seems to be from the same area as our family member came from. Family is from Scotland/Ireland.
Needs some encouragement from the experts...since I will never understand this "stuff." "E" PS: Some of my family members are vacationing on Maui and today they went to a "little whaling museum" per text message. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
