Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Dna results
this is basic science. Your DNA is only 50% from one parent, and that goes back forever. So the mixes keep happening. Just like one brother can have blue eyes and blonde hair and the other one green eyes and brown hair, none of us (except identical twins) have the same DNA. However, if the preponderence is of one and that is true of someone else, you are probably related through one parent (sometimes in Portuguese and other European lineages, through both because second and third cousins often married) which is not illegal (even in the US) and rarely leads to birth defects or genetic disease like cystic fibrosis (which comes from DNA that is too much alike and may carry recessive genes that when combined are no longer recessive but become dominant) Perhaps someone can clarify for me how the DNA genealogy test works since it would appear the only way to get much of a clear lineage is if there is a preponderence of similar genes.

Probably 4 for his time period, the fifth - Almagreira, appearing in the very early 1900's.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Dna results
Fred all others reading his post, Basically what you have written is true. However, as a registered nurse who cares for neonates in the ICU, I have to clarify what you said about cousins marrying rarely leading to birth defects or genetic diseases. While there may be many times that such problems do not occur, at some point the intermarrying does lead to birth defects or genetic diseases often in the form of inborn errors of metabolism or other obscure defects that are not obviously apparent to the casual observer. Sometimes these defects do not declare themselves for a couple of generations. Lisa In a message dated 11/4/2013 7:21:13 A.M.

Hi Denis and Steve, Denis, for some reason I only see part of your message to Steve but no Andrade names or dates. I have some Santa Maria Andrade's behind my great grandmother, Catarina Cabral, born 1852 in Almagreira to Maria Isabel Moreira and Jose Inacio Cabral married Jan. 31, 1849. Behind Jose is: Valerio Andrade married to Barbara Laurencia I have no dates except his daughter married in 1812. Behind Maria Isabel are a couple more: Matias Andrade married to Francisca Andrade...their daughter married in 1751. In that same generation: Isabel de Andrade married to Francisco Velho Dias. I have no dates for their daughters marriage. I anxiously await the Santa Maria records.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Mormons
Jose A.M, When the Genealogy Society of Utah (GSU as they were called back in the day) negotiated the contract and went to the Azores, it was in the mid-1980s. They went to the archives to film. The archives hold all records except those for the last 100 years. Those are held by the Civil Registry. So, in the 1980s, they could film up to about the 1880s, more or less. Some island got filmed up to the 1870s. It depends on what books were shipped from the Civil Registries and were cataloged by the archive at the time of filming. No contracts have been renegotiated by Family Search (as they are now called) and the Azorean government. (to my knowledge). But the records are slowing coming on line up to about 1910 or so. So we have to wait for the Azorean government to bridge the gap between the 1870s/1880s time period and 1910, or hire a researcher for those records.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GeneWeb to Gedcom
Freddy G, I'm not sure what you mean by GeneWeb. Is your genealogy in the cloud? There should be a command of File Export and you can create a Gedcom that way. Ancestral Quest was supposed to be the next program after PAF. Everyone will tell you that their program is the best, of course! The 4 most popular genealogy software programs on the market (for a PC) are Family Tree Maker (FTM) by Ancestry.com (no free trial), Legacy Family Tree (their standard edition is free), RootsMagic (their Essentials is free), and The Master Genealogist (TMG) which is free for a 30 day trial period. Download Legacy, RM, and TMG and play with them all. Make up some people (George Washington, Bugs Bunny), have Daisy Duck married to Donald and a child by Bugs Bunny and see how the software handles it. Have people with the same name (3 or 4 George Washingtons - one born 1722, another born 1799, another born 1850, and the last one born 1900 and see how to distinguish between them all). Legacy has a fairly intuitive interface and is pretty powerful. RM has the smallest learning curve and has a portability option (RootsMagic to Go) with their paid version. TMG has the largest learning curve, is the most powerful, is completely customizable and has really good filters for handing people of the same name. When I give my Genealogy Software Review speech, I tell those who are nervous computer users to try RM first (Essentials) and see how they like it. I tell people who don't want to spend too much time learning a program but want it to do more to try Legacy. I tell people who are annoyed that their program won't do this or that and who are comfortable with the computer to try out TMG. Because FTM doesn't have a free trial it's hard to say what to do with that program. If you go to your local genealogy society, someone probably has it and can show you what it looks like and what is does. I belong to a Users Group for my genealogy software program. People come to our meetings who are checking out the other programs because they don't like the one that they are currently using. See if there are any User Groups in your area. RM, Legacy, and TMG has a User Groups tab on their respective web sites.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GeneWeb to Gedcom
I agree with Cheri, try out the sample programs. I however am an Ancestral Quest user. There is a free version of AQ available online to download. It is usable, but does not include all of the goodies that come with the full version. I am biased because AQ is written by a friend of mine. He is the one that originally wrote the PAF program. On the AQ website, I believe there is a place to email questions or a phone number to call with questions.

Download Legacy, RM, and TMG and play with them all. Make up some people (George Washington, Bugs Bunny), have Daisy Duck married to Donald and a child by Bugs Bunny and see how the software handles it. Have people with the same name (3 or 4 George Washingtons - one born 1722, another born 1799, another born 1850, and the last one born 1900 and see how to distinguish between them all). Legacy has a fairly intuitive interface and is pretty powerful. RM has the smallest learning curve and has a portability option (RootsMagic to Go) with their paid version. TMG has the largest learning curve, is the most powerful, is completely customizable and has really good filters for handing people of the same name. When I give my Genealogy Software Review speech, I tell those who are nervous computer users to try RM first (Essentials) and see how they like it. I tell people who don't want to spend too much time learning a program but want it to do more to try Legacy. I tell people who are annoyed that their program won't do this or that and who are comfortable with the computer to try out TMG. Because FTM doesn't have a free trial it's hard to say what to do with that program. If you go to your local genealogy society, someone probably has it and can show you what it looks like and what is does. I belong to a Users Group for my genealogy software program. People come to our meetings who are checking out the other programs because they don't like the one that they are currently using. See if there are any User Groups in your area. RM, Legacy, and TMG has a User Groups tab on their respective web sites.

Maria L, When Freddy posted about computer programs, I responded with computer programs.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Ginetes.....Salanca? Is it a name or a place?
I was searching on the CCA site for a death record for someone in my Ginetes line. I thought I had the right person but now I see another word/ name in the documents after his name that makes me wonder. I have a marriage record for Manuel de Sousa Carvalho x Anna da Estrella . But in the death record I found, I read 'Manuel Carvalho Salanca' who was married to Anna de Estrella .Sometimes I am seeing ' Lomba' after some names and I assume this is a place but is there an area of Ginetes called ' Salanca?' or could this be a last name and maybe I have the wrong death record.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ginetes.....Salanca? Is it a name or a place?
Terri, I tried google translate and my Portuguese English dictionary and couldn't find a translation for that word. I have an Amaro Cardoso m. to Catarina de Carvalho (or Ferreira) [my 9th great grandparents] No parents for him, but Catarina's parents were Gaspar de Carvalho and Isabel Ferreira.
