Larry, You should post all your questions to this group ([email protected]). You might want to send separate emails for vastly different questions.
You will not trace all your lines back to the continent of Portugal. You might be able to trace some or none. It'll depend on the availability of records, how prominent the line is, and some luck. A DNA question doesn't belong on a topic/thread/email titled "Sao Jorge." It needs a separate one. A J2 haplogroup is usually considered Sephardic.
