Hello Maria, Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you could determine when your ancestors arrived to the Azores by looking at your FTDNA results and family tree. What I meant to suggest is what you actually did. You compared what you found about the match from Denmark to your pedigree chart...and determined that your 4th great grandfather, with an unknown father, could be the link to the man in Denmark. At the time, I didn't know about this, or how far your family history extended in the Azores. I thought it was possible that a child of your shared common ancestor could've emigrated from the Azores, started a family, and that would explain the results. But, I think you're on to something with your 4th great grandfather's unknown father.
