I don't think this is accurate - based on this new version I have absolutely no Portuguese. I find that very hard to believe - both of my parents were Portuguese. My mother's family from São Miguel, Açores goes back to the late 1500s. My father is from Moimenta da Beira area of Portugal. I can trace back only to the early 1800s.
