Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Salt Verde - Sao Jorge Records

[Cheri Mello]

I don't believe it was its own freguesia. I think the records are in Topo
or maybe Santo Antão. Since George Pacheco and John Raposo do a lot of
research for hire, they would be able to say where they've seen Salto
Verde. If they don't know, then I'd ask Eloise Cadinha. She's no longer on
the list. I haven't emailed her in a couple of years. I think she's in her
80s. I do have her email. Cheri

My understanding is the area no longer exists that it fell off the island.
Is that correct or was I misinformed?

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] AZORES-Genealogy] Uploading Multiple kits; etc

[M. Stringer]

Hi Cheri,



Thank You again for your quick response and patience.



The paper trail research is very clean/thorough (‘cousin’ researching since
1970ish, me since 1998 with LOTS of
collaboration/corroboration/documentation).  Long story and not Azores, so
trying to stick to the DNA of it all – which could apply to any of us along
the way.  The DNA disconnect seems to be  at my grandfather’s father.  My
grandfather was the 1st child of his parents (5 yrs after they married;
have their marriage, his birth/baptism).  I have found DNA matches to two
of his maternal grandmother’s siblings.  So, he is his mother’s son.  No
discovered matches to his father’s family.  Thinking IF NPE, either he’s
not the natural s/o his father OR his father is not the natural son of his
parents (who happen to be 1st cousins; have his 1850 baptism and he is an
infant with his family in the 1851 census).   Plenty of endogamous here
too.



Suggesting not necessarily a NPE, I was also told that it isn’t a
surprise/unusual that there is no match to a 3rd cousin once removed (given
random distribution).  I know other ‘cousins’ (4th+) have tested and I’m
not matching them either. Thus, trying to figure out how to proceed.  No
paternal first cousins.  Some second cousin possibilities, if they will
agree to test.



Your positive influence is clearly visible re encouraging testing : )  Just
wondering if random distribution could also be a component.  I found a
match via the Boston Irish project (paternal grandmother).  We emailed and
learned that our likely connection is the Azores!



Is there anything FTDNA could do to enhance following FamilyFinder results?



Thanks again,



Marsha Stringer

Marsha S,



I guess I should have capped "distant matches" in that large paragraph. You
will see more DISTANT MATCHES with the FTDNA upload. All close matches 1st,
2nd, and 3rd cousins, will be pretty much the same. It's the 4th - distant
cousin category that FTDNA will attract more matches.



To figure out a "Non Paternal Event" or "Not the Parent Expected" (NPE) or
misattributed parentage, you have to work all your KNOWN lines. The ones
you can't figure out may very well be from that mystery line. You need a
really close match to that line. If it's your grandparent and you are the
testee, you are looking for a 1st or 2nd cousin on that line. It can be
done with a 3rd cousin and a lot of work.



Some people get more Portuguese matches because I try real hard to recruit
people to the Azores DNA Project. And to encourage more testing. The more
you have, the more information it will reveal, and you will find more
cousins!



Many Projects on FTDNA are "Surname Projects" and focus on Y-DNA only. I
run a couple of those. I don't recruit Family Finder for those, but I don't
turn them away if they join. Trying to work in Family Finder with the
"Smith Surname Project" means I'd have to wade through everyone's tree
looking for the proper Smith and trying to ignore all the Jones, Brown,
Anderson, etc matches. But yet, I'd need to know (somewhat) how the Jones,
Brown, and Anderson fit in so I'm looking at the right branch. It's rather
difficult. The Azores DNA Project is NOT a surname project. It's a
Geographical Project and was set up that way. So we are looking a region.
And it's endogamous (intermarried). So surnames are not as important as
being from the same freguesia (village). It's a little easier to match that
way, but harder to find out ALL THE WAYS that you match due to the
intermarriage. So projects are a little different and some don't accept
Family Finder (or mtDNA). It's not the goal of the project so the admin(s)
don't take it.

Hope this helps,

[M. Stringer]

Hi Cheri,



My motivation is seeing if the different tests yield different matches.
This because I’m increasingly concerned I may have stumbled upon a NPE re
my paternal (English) grandfather (very thorough paper trail research).  I
found two matches (1 each Ancestry and My Heritage) to his mother’s line,
but not one to his father’s line, including the closest tested 3rd cousin
once removed.  Trying to figure out how to proceed re attempting to sort it
out.



I see/think I see (now via all 3 venues: FTDNA, Ancestry, MH) many more
matches re the Azores.  Is that ‘shuffling of the deck of cards’, or the
wonders of the Azores project/group?



Have tried to seek other relevant projects, but many are NOT yet
FamilyFinder friendly (with a few notable exceptions).  All the more
appreciative of the Azores project.



Thanks for responding so quickly.

I interpreted the question as:
1) Upload Joe Smith's AncestryDNA kit to My Heritage.
2) Upload Joe Smith's FTDNA kit to My Heritage.
3) Upload Joe Smith's 23 and Me kit to My Heritage.

So if we match Joe Smith and we log into My Heritage we will see:
Matches:
1) Joe Smith #1
2) Joe Smith #2
3) Joe Smith #3

Which I don't understand why some people do this. I do understand why
Roberta Estes does it - she blogs about the differences.

If you are talking about uploading your nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie,
yes you can do that and have it all under one log in.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Transferring your DNA to My HeritageDNAbefore December 1

[gelizares]

Aloha All,

 

You can upload more than one kit.  I have myself and three others, you would 
highlight the box that says someone else and they will ask for name, birth year 
and if you have permission to do this for that party.  You will end up getting 
a different number assigned for each kit.  I hope this helps to answer any 
questions.

Sam, I just did mine this morning and had no problems.   I first downloaded my 
DNA from Family Tree DNA. You want to download Build 37 Autosomal. If you did 
not use this one then that could be the problem. It is an easy mistake to make 
because you can also download Build 36 which will not work.

Is it possible to upload a 2nd test?  Wondering if there would be different

Just a reminder...You only have a couple of days left before My Heritage
starts charging on Dec. 1st.

Original email below:



For those who have DNA tested, you will want to download your raw data from
whichever company and transfer it over to My Heritage DNA before December
1st.



Each testing company has developed different tools and has different
population samples. Transferring to MyHeritage DNA is currently free. Use
of their tools will be grandfathered in. Beginning December 1st, you will
have to pay. No, I don't know the amount.



Here is what Dick Eastman says about the transfer: https://goo.gl/F5VScW



Here is Roberta Estes' step-by-step guide to downloading and transferring:

https://goo.gl/9bYpyM



Roberta went to My Heritage's conference last week and spent a lot of time
at the DNA lectures. Roberta does have a scientific or technical
background, so she completely understands this stuff. She tries very hard
to break the science down for the us to understand in her blog,
DNA-Explained.com. She wrote a long, detailed article on how DNA matching
is done at My Heritage. All companies have their own similar processes. I
encourage everyone to read the article and try to follow along. You don't
need to understand the gory details. The only understanding is that there's
a lot of science and stuff behind the scenes going into these matches and
it's not a perfect science. There's no way to appreciate it until you read
(or attend) lectures like this. So read her latest blog with the
understanding that you are following along and will only digest small
portions of it: https://goo.gl/uAnanQ

Sam, I really don't know if you can upload it again.

https://www.myheritage.com/contact-myheritage

There's phone numbers and other ways to contact them. I hope it works!!

I am not sure about that but you can try all that could happen is you get a 
message that it has already been uploaded.

Rick;  Since I got that message when I uploaded my sister’s raw data, do you 
know if I can uploaded it again? Will a second upload over-ride the first?  I’m 
thinking you could be right and I may have clicked on the wrong download when I 
did it the first time.

Sam, I just did mine this morning and had no problems.   I first downloaded my 
DNA from Family Tree DNA. You want to download Build 37 Autosomal. If you did 
not use this one then that could be the problem. It is an easy mistake to make 
because you can also download Build 36 which will not work.

Thanks to you reminder, I tried again this morning with success.  I’ve uploaded

For those who have DNA tested, you will want to download your raw data from
