When I tested my parent's DNA before Family Finder, only a couple of possible matches from the Azores. Only after I requested the Family Finder tests on my parent's DNA, the Azores / Portuguese matches occurred. I try to keep in mind the Azores were settled and immigrants came and went, all kinds of ships stopped and some decided to stay in the Azores. My Dad's maternal side gives me the most world - wide matches. I am glad I did the basic YDNA and mtDNA because I learned their hapogroup.
