Marsha, The conference did this computer in. My monitor is going out so I'll be brief.
I don't know how much Portuguese you are in theory (half, quarter, etc). But 57 cMs for a Portuguese person isn't a good starting point. Start with 100 cMs or more. Try to get siblings and cousins to test if possible. They could have a missing piece to the jigsaw puzzle that you don't have. I'm not going to go into your husband's English matches. He's probably not endogamous (has intermarriage in his tree). Yes, FTDNA has a threshold for reporting their matches. So if you want to go outside their parameters, download your raw data and upload it to GedMatch and play with their tools. You will be comparing yourself to those who chose to upload to GedMatch. So you won't get the same matches there either. Kinda like some stores carry different brands of things. NOTE: Your DNA info will be out there in the Internet for anyone to see who chooses to make a GedMatch account.
