Hi Ubirajara, She's wrong.. The statistics are more or less here: http://www.isogg.org/wiki/Autosomal_DNA_statistics
As you can see, you're probably 4th cousins or greater. The common link should be one of your 3x-great grandparents or probably one of their not-so-distant ancestors. The problem in the Azores is that due to intermarriage being so common, you can have shared cMs from multiple sources. It seems from that article, that it should be impossible to have intact segments from before the 6x-great grandparents (>7th cousins). In any case, that's all within the recorded parish records, and with some luck you should be able to find your common ancestor. Assuming of course that no one had a child from the milkman (other than his wife of course..).
