I just got back from my first trip to Sao Miguel and my family village, Porto Formoso. My family left there in 1883 for Hawaii. Our guide said the archipelago began to be settled sixty years before Columbus sailed for the New World, the first settlers included the Flemish, and some were from Brittany (and spoke Portuguese with a French accent). Complicating this, my genealogical research of the US censuses of 1900 and 1910 tells me that the Portuguese were not regarded then as Caucasian. So the DNA experience is indeed complex.
