Good Morning Laura,
I am glad you have joined the Azores Islands DNA Project. I have been looking at my kits this morning and you are a match to my dad, Francis Richard Pimentel, my sister, Nina Kewley, my dad’s first Cousin, Shirley Watson, and another first cousin of my dad, Robert Lee Carvalho . The good news of all this is that because my dad’s first cousin Shirley is only ½ Portuguese that eliminates half the potential common ancestor names. I will send you a chart with the names privately.

I have been attempting to identify my biological father and trace my paternal line. I have taken the Ancestry.com dna test and uploaded my dna profile to Family Tree DNA, as well as GEDMatch. My biological mother was of Irish, German, English and Scottish decent, so I am confident that matches of Portuguese decent come from my paternal line. My DNA matches indicate that my paternal ancestors were from the Island of Sao Miguel, Acores. The only information that I have regarding my father is that his went by the name Bobby Moniz. He was approximately 23 years old in 1968 and his family was from the Fall River/Seekonk area. He met my biological mother near her father's home in Riverside (East Providence), Rhode Island, where they briefly dated. He was never told of her pregnancy. She described him as a short/stocky man with dark, kinky curly hair. She remembers he drove a blue Ford Farlane. They spent time together at Sabin Point Park in Riverside, Rhode Island. I would be interested in any Moniz surname lines with ancestors from Sao Miguel who may have immigrated and/or lived in the Fall River/Seekonk/East Providence area between 1940 and 1970. -- 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.
