If you have free time, troll the internet for your family names. Last week I stumbled on a smidgeon of information after plugging in my family names and the last place I knew they lived.. (Sylvia, New Bedford) Turned out the info to be a distant 3rd cousin in New Bedford. A couple years ago he did the DNA test on a DNA site called 23andme and another Azorean ancestor on that site found him. Turns out, he had almost 5 generations of my great-grandma's family history on Flores and many names connected that I'd never known that I was connected to. Makes me dizzy to think about.
Because I have never figured out or understood the way the surnames get changed around, I will spend years double checking the notes. What a brilliant stroke of luck from googling the family name. I doubt I'd have ever come across my 3rd cousin without the luck factor. My DNA Family Finder was received last week, so I guess I'm going to find out soon if I connect with anyone else. Oh boy!
