I can see the original message, Antonio. Nothing was deleted. We went offlist with this post since it was about only 1 person's ethnic makeup.
He wanted to know why, on paper, he's 50% Portuguese, but MyOrigins is showing something pitiful, like 1%. Kalani has seen 2 other instances of this. The only thing I could think of was the fact that the Portuguese sample size was 25. Don't know how many Azoreans versus mainland versus Madeira was there. I know I put my data and my dad's data in there. Two Sao Miguel people. Nine Azores islands + Madeira + the continent, and our sample size was lame. I'm guessing that depending on the islands in that tiny 25 person sample size and whichever islands someone's family comes from...well, there may not be a good match. Maybe next time around, when they revamp this again, more people will answer the survey.
