I am descended from Azoreans on both sides and my PF comes up 93% European (Western European) and 7% Middle East. People moved around a lot so it's not too surprising that there would be many ethnicities among Azorean descendants.

I came up as 92% French and Orcadian, as well, with 7% Jewish/Palestinian. BUT, I also know that there was a da Rosa, in my Azorean family (potential pointer to Flemish heritage), as well as the fact half of my Azorean half is from Capelas, and Ajuda de Bratanha before that. I have to admit some of them look a little French. On my mother's side, a portion of her English ancestors were Normans, who many French people will tell you are not actually French and were Danish/Viking, although the intermarried and blended, as well. Just some things to keep in mind. Happy researching, Group, and I can't wait until they unleash the new population finder. -Trevor Costa -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Soares < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> To: azores < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Sent: Sun, Dec 1, 2013 4:24 pm Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Population Finder Cheri, Thanks for the info.
