Hi Mary K, Since you assigned Shirley A as a cousin, I was able to run the filer. Show Matches....then I chose "In Common With" and picked Shirley. You and Shirley don't have any matches in common. So it's not Antonio de Mello b. 1766 in Vila Franca m. to Constancia de Jesus Pimentel b. in Ponta Garca (and m. PG). So yes, you are right about not having enough DNA. You share 60 cMs (centoMorgan - a genetic unit of measure like a centimeter or inch...but it's microscopic) with Shirley and have 20 segments, but they are pretty fractured all over the place. The biggest block is on chromosome 10 (use your Chromosome Browser) and you'll see 3 blocks there.
Do you have Ciprano do Rego & Antonia Barboza more than once in your tree? I wonder if this is contributing to the fragmentation. Once we start making more and more paper trail connections, I think we will be able to help the geneticists with our intermarrying ancestors. Yes, Ponta Garca was there first. Then Ribeira Quente. So you will a lot of references back and forth between the 2 freguesias.
