Hi Isabella, My family is from Pico but I have a few ancestors from Faial and Sao Jorge in the 1700's most of my records don't go beyond the early 1700's except for Sao Roque Pico. I am getting matches to Sao Jorge, Faial, Terceira, and Sao Miguel through family finder. My Dad is also getting matches from Flores in addition to the islands I have listed . My Results
Southern Europe 69% Scandinavia 15% British Isles 12% North Africa 5% My Dad's results Southern Europe 80% British Isles 8% Scandinavia 6% North Africa 5% Flemish derived surnames are more frequent on my mothers side I think that may account for the difference in the Scandinavia results comparing my father and I, I haven't tested my mother yet.
