Repost for Betty Fredericks, bbffrrpp11 at gmail.com I want to "attempt" to talk my husband's uncle into taking a DNA test. It won't be easy, and he wouldn't pay for it but maybe his daughter will. But, I went to the FamilyTreeDNA site to check out the PACHECO Project. On quick look there are less than 20 people participating, and there doesn't seem to be an Admin. This surprises me in one way but doesn't surprise me in another way. I very rarely find another PACHECO researcher with ties to Greater Boston, MA. But, I thought there would be PACHECO's in all of the U.S. who might be interested in their family-tree.
(At Thanksgiving Dinner last week, I brought this subject up, and my step-son - just out of the Navy - reminded me that PACHECO's were in many countries. Of course most know about the name in Mexico, but he mentioned the Philippines.) http://www.familytree.com/surnames/Pacheco http://www.geni.com/surnames/pacheco (interesting info there !) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I think I already mentioned that a month ago I found out from a 1921 newspaper article that my husband's grandfather, Antone PACHECO, "did" have a brother, Manuel PACHECO. They were both living in Cambridge, MA, in 1920's, and the brother managed "a tap." There were 3 Manuel PACHECO's in Cambridge in 1920, so I don't know which one was the brother. But, my "gut feeling" is the one who owned the "Willow Furniture Store" was the brother. ... I haven't had time to try to find out more about "Manny," but I'll try this week. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
