We have used the last of the DNA on a full Sequence which is due back in a week 
or so. I have had only two matches in the Azores DNA Project on the low level 
test But neither were from the same Island. Mine came from Ponta Delgada, Sao 
Miguel.

L2a is the most common and widely distributed Sub-Saharan haplogroup almost as 
common in some areas of Africa as H in Western Europe, have you upgraded to FMS?

There has been an academic study done looking at the maternal lineages of 
Macronesia(Azores,Madeira,Canary Islands and Cape Verde) I believe the average 
for the Azores for Mtdna with origins in Sub-Sahara Africa was 3.4%, paternal 
lineages with origins in Sub-Sahara Africa in the Azores are extremely rare I 
believe only one example has been found, using that as a guideline you would 
expect an average of 1.7% of the Azorean genome to have origins in Sub-Saharn 
Africa. I don't believe that result is far off. It is corroborated by  
myorigins results that are coming in, many people are not showing 1% or higher 
which is my case but when I use the Gedmatch calculators it definetely is 
present especially when I look at my 22 Chromosomes in detail.
