We just received the MtDNA results for my husband's mother, Mary Elsie Amaral. Only the basic test was performed but there were no matches at HVR1 and HVR2. There were over 1000 matches at HVR1 alone and while that is interesting, it is not that helpful. She is a part of the Family Tree DNA Azores Project but her results haven't appeared on the MtDNA results page. She belongs to Haplogroup J and her earliest known ancestor in the female line is Anna de Jesus Pavão, who married Francisco Sousa and whose daughter, Rosa de Jesus, was called a native of Ribeirinha, when her children were baptized at Nossa Senhora da Estrela, Ribeira Grande, São Miguel, beginning in 1868. Rosa de Jesus married Jose Raposo, also called Jose Raposo Pombeiro. Sorry, but because this is Ribeira Grande, I don't have any birthdates or marriage dates for them yet.
