That was indeed funny.. Well, if any of my descendents have to find me, I'll probably be easy to stop in one of those 50Petabytes Google Archive PurpleRays they'll be making in a few decades. But my name is like most Portuguese actually 4: João Carlos Negrão Ventura. I hope they find my family tree as well.
So that C. stands for Carlos.. I can add the "N." as well, if another João C Ventura shows up on this list. But usually I just use first and last. But I do need to promote the site I created. It's slowly becoming popular, and at some point I need to move it into it's own server, away from the free stuff I use now. And that'll cost me €€€. That means I need to make it better well-known, and then figure out some way to monetize it. So my sig here will change a bit. Feel free to contriibute any ideas on how I can do that. I've tried to ask FamilyTreeDNA for affiliation, where I'd get a commission on any kit sold throught the site, but I haven't heard from them.
