Hi Geraldo, Yes I was really happy to find out where all my relatives went to in Brazil I knew that many had immigrated there and my matches are in the regions where I knew there was a concentration of immigration from the Azores. The point I was trying to make is there is a piece missing yet, I have gained a huge amount of information with my Azorean matches, I have been able to confirm the historical records of the settlement in Brazil with my matches .But I have only one family finder match in Continental Portugal but she has an ancestor born in Castelo Branco Faial in 1700 other wise nothing else connecting to Continental Portugal my Gedmatch Calculator results show that I share more DNA with Galicians than the Portuguese population used for reference. I also match about a dozen of people in Mexico and that immigration occurred in the 1500's to early 1600's therefore if more tested I believe I would have matches with Continental Portugal I suspect it is just a matter of time and patience is required.
I am grateful for what I have been able to find out so far but the source population where most of our ancestors came from doesn't appear to test very much yet, I was venting a little primarily because we will learn a huge amount when those matches finally start coming in.
