*I am pleased with the latest FF results but still remain totally confused with the Y-DNA results that I receive periodically. Recent family finder results indicate that Joan Freitas Estracher (sp?) and I may be as close as 3rd cousins. I have met Joan at "Amigos das Flores" in Fresno and we have speculated on how we might be related. Previous FF test results have indicated that George Mello (Cheri's father) and I maybe as closely related as 4th cousins although I have no known S. Miguel ancestors. These are people I have met.
* *On the other hand, my Y-dna matches, seem to be totally off the wall. They usually seem to be Welch or other northern european, and very rarely portuguese. Could it be that one of my ancestors was a crew member on one of the Portuguese ships in the Spanish Armada that landed somewhere in the UK?? (BTW, one of my nieces married a Welchman. Wouldn't it be ironic if he turned out to be a distant relative. * *John Vasconcelos* On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 7:30 PM, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > Family Finder (FF) results are in up through part of batch 527. > > They are behind on mtDNA. > > Some people are having a hard time with Y-DNA (finding the right region on > that Y chromosome). > > If they are having problems with your DNA and the expected date has > expired, there will be a note on your page. > > Right now, I can't get the FTDNA pages to load consistently.
