and my autosomal DNA from ancestry is now on FTDna, and I've joined the Azores project… but what next?
I’ve been coming across people on ancestry who obviously are connected to me somehow in the Azores, but even though I’ve messaged them, I’ve not had a response, and as my only known Azorean ancestor is a total stumbling block… to get beyond (despite twice searching through all the Faial parishes after his dob ) I’m really hoping for a DNA link somewhere, that might help. He is… (Anglicised) Manual DIAZ, born 31 August 1840. My gt.gt. grandmother was born in New Zealand: Birth: 1868/13060 Deers Amelia Eliza Ann Emmanuel St Patrick’s Cathedral, Auckland Baptism 12 August 1868, birth as: 28 May, Amelia Jane DIEZ, parents: Manuel GOREZ & Elizabeth (sic) Godparents Alfred COURTNEY, Louisa COURTNEY (Eliza’s siblings) Is the GOREZ the clue to why I’ve not found him before?
