Hi David,
I remember seeing a small % on my uncle John Cardoza Baptiste. His maternal line is from Pico and paternal from Sao Jorge. His Gedmatch # is T362726. His mother is U5a and his Y is E-M183. My kit # is T 235110 and my sister's is T775558 My brother, Brad Baptiste is also tested at FTDNA however, I haven't uploaded him to Gedmatch yet.

(If I recall correctly, Basques have a lower >percentage than Sami and Cantabrians, but still higher than average...) And I've seen genetic studies of the Azores where the overall prevalence of V thrpughout the archipelago is similar to that around most of Europe -- but also one study that says that its prevalence in the Western group of the Azores is 33% (which would apparently be the highest rate in the world other than among the Sami), and that it's the most heavily represented haplogroup in the Western group. My earliest known ancestor in my direct maternal line lived on Flores, so she forms part of this pattern for V in the Western group. I'm interested in trying to set up a database for Azoreans and Azorean-descendants who fall into V, to see if we can construct a tree back to one or more identifiable "mothers" of V who brought the haplogroup to the Azores and to whom (or to one of whom) all Azorean Vs can trace their direct maternal lines.
