Hello Nancy Jean, Thank you for thinking of my father. He is doing some better & I will be going home to St Louis on Friday.
Dennis Silva is my husband & Buzzie Mendonca is his mother's brother. Dennis' mother passed away so we asked Uncle Buzzie to do a DNA test for us and he kindly accepted. Just wondering if you are Portuguese thru your mother & your father. If you are Azorean on both sides of your family, like my husband is, the DNA matches you mention might be closer for you because you are related closer on the family side that your uncle is not related to. Am I making sense?? You might be related to my husband on both sides of his family, his mother's side (Buzzie) and his father's side (Dennis' DNA) but the DNA match will give you the closest one, in this case 4th remote. I think that could explain this. Cheri, is that right??? Rosemarie, how fun to be connected to you! You worked with my cousin, Noreene, and you are a cousin to my husband!! Our Silva's were also Silveira & are from Calheta & then Ribeira Seca & then it goes to Topo. Have no Lemos in the family tree but have Silveira, Soares Sigueira, Bettencourt Avila, Alveres Silveira & others from Rosais. Also family from Pico & Faial & Terceira but the majority are from Sao Jorge & Pico. Would love to find out how we all connect!!
