Hi Susan, 1) What documents in the U.S. have made you "hit upon" this particular area?
2) What research have you done on your immigrant ancestor? You can't just use GedMatch. You have to have a paper trail to go along with your genealogy. Once you get your island and freguesia then you'll need to compare the centiMorgans along with how far back in time you are. If you have a living parent, use their DNA. You have a lot of matches with Sao Jorge too. Some Terceira too, I think. Why are looking on Pico? The DNA is pointing to 3 different islands. You need a paper trail to go along with the DNA.
