Hi Chris M, I have never heard of the company that you mention.
If you do an Internet search on Family Tree DNA, it will come up. Or you can just go to your address bar and type: www.familytreedna.com or if that's too long, www.ftdna.com will redirect you to the www.familytreedna.com site. Scroll down and where it says "Search for a Surname" type: azores Which test depends of your goal. If you want to trace just your Silva line, for example, you would need to find a male Silva relative to take a Y-DNA test. If you don't really have a particular goal, you can do a broad overview on ALL your lines. It goes back about 200 years from the birth of the testee. This is Family Tree DNA's Family Finder test. If your father or any of his siblings are alive, test them. You want to test the oldest generation. If your father nor none of his siblings are alive, test yourself. Family Finder is $99 USD + $9.95 postage anywhere in the world.
