Hi Jack, I will try to show the relationship but I’m really not sure how to explain the relationship!
First of all, Jorge Machado Teixeira & Anna Machado Villalobos are my 6th great grandparents, Ken Silva’s and they are also Mary Bordi’s thru two different sons of this couple. The crazy thing is that it shows as 4th to remote to my cousin Ken who did the Family Finder for me and it doesn’t show on MY Family Finder test. I’m also 6th generation to Susan Vargas Murphy which shows on Ken’s but not mine! My only reasoning is that half of my DNA is from my Dad who is Italian and as Cheri has told us many times the DNA doesn’t shake down evenly. The GEDCOM that is up for myself and Ken Silva and Daniel Souza is all my family info and my contact info is on all three. The boys, both my cousins (Dan, 1st & Ken about 3rd on one side and 2nd on another!) are not interested particularly in genealogy but agreed to test for me. Lisa Turrentine doesn’t know the connection as yet because she hasn’t gone back far enough on her lines. Hopefully she will get back another 3 or 4 and we will see a connection! I hope this helps some, I’m not real clear on why Ken has 5 pages of matches and I only have two except that he is Portuguese on both his Mom’s side (Souza & Avila) and his Dad’s side which is NOT Silva but Silveira de Azevedo and his maternal grandma is a Teixeira.

Lisa hasn’t found the connection as yet but Mary and I both descend from Jorge Machado Teixeira & Ana Machado Villalobos of Norte Grande (early 1700’ ), Sao Jorge. Mary comes down from Jose Teixeira Machado and I come down from Sgt. Jorge Machado Teixeira. I have also had other matches that we have not found the connection to but when the others get back far enough in their research we will make it, I’m sure!
