Hello Fawn,
No doubt, your husband's maternal uncle will be very helpful to have the Family Finder test done, because he will have pretty much all the same DNA as your husband's mother. Of course, it won't be exactly all the same DNA, but close enough.
I don't know whether he has any Portuguese ancestry, but no matter what, it will help find relatives on that side of the family.
Now, if he does have Portuguese ancestors, does he happen to be a descendant of the couple who married in Angra that you recently mentioned?
I still need to check to see if I am related to that couple and subsequently to your husband.
Good luck,

--Just wondering if it would be useful to have my husband's maternal uncle tested. I am working on my husband's family tree & he has been DNA tested in a number of the available tests but would testing his uncle be an additional help?Thanks,Fawn SilvaSt. Louis, MO
