For those of you who  have tested with Family Tree DNA, please do me a 
favor.


Log into  your kit(s), go to Manage Personal Information, click on the 
Genealogy tab,  then go to Surnames.


Now see the attached screen shot. In the  surname field, please put what 
island your ancestors are from. In location,  put Azores. 


I am telling your DNA matches to log into their kits  and go to their 
Family Finder matches, and where it says Ancestral Surnames to  type Azores. 


This helps those with mid-1800s emigration from the  Azores with very 
little paper trail. Some don't have an island. If they type  in Azores and see 
8 
people from Sao Jorge island, for example, they will start  to have an idea 
where in the Azores they came from.

Thanks! Cheri  Mello

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Beautiful Reunion Story

[netadosAcores via Azores Genealogy]

Laura - Thank you for  sharing your efforts of their story.  My cousins are 
working to  find  a Grandfather, and I'd like to share your story with 
them, to give them  hope.  
 
Cheri is so right, about  more needing to take DNA tests.  One of the Kits 
that I manage, had a match  in 2012 at 38. Centimorgans on Family Finder.  
There was a common surname,  but totally wrong area where they were living 
and where they came from.   Move forward 3years to 2015.  Ah, the Holiday 
Sale.  My cousins joined  cash and offered Kits to some of our 85yrs + cousins, 
with the hope that their  DNA would have more percentage of our family's 
ancestors Centimorgans.   Result:  8 out of 10 cousins matches to that Kit from 
2012 with 75  Centimorgans or lower.   What we are looking for now, is that 
are the  two ancestors brothers or cousins.  Time will tell, but what a 
great lead  that would not even have been considered if not for DNA.
 
Thank you Laura for  sharing, and thank you Cheri for encouraging us to 
have more cousins continue  testing.

I wanted to take a moment and share with all of you, my Portuguese  
genealogy family, a heartwarming beautiful story that I was blessed to be  
involved 
in over the past few days.  As many of you know, I am adopted,  and I have 
been searching for my biological father for many years now.  5  years ago, 
my husband bought me the Ancestry dna test.  I then tested  with FTDna and 
with 23andme, hoping to find dna cousins who would share their  lineage with 
me.  I learned to read Portuguese, and began researching on  the Azorean 
gov't website to build a large tree with all the genealogy of  my Portuguese 
cousins, looking for common ancestors between them.  I have  created a Master 
DNA tree which now contains over 10,000 people, and I have  indeed found 
common ancestors.  I am waiting the results of a dna test  for a woman I 
believe 
is my aunt or 2nd cousin.  Expected date of  discovery:  March 21st!  Along 
this journey, I have been richly  blessed me with so many new friends and 
Portuguese cousins.  I have  learned much about my ancestors, the Island of 
Sao Miguel, from which they  came, and the struggles my ancestors endured, 
making my life possible.   


About 3 years ago, I was working off a list of all of the men  who bore my 
biological father's name, Robert Moniz, and lived in the Fall  River area at 
the time of my birth.  One man in particular had a son,  Cory, that I 
located on Facebook.  I messaged him there, with my story,  and he agreed to 
take 
the Ancestry DNA test for me.  As it turns out, we  are only 5th to 8th 
cousins.  Not close enough to provide any clues, but  I added his family lines 
to my DNA Cousin Tree anyhow, thinking sometime in  the future, it may be 
helpful.  I also added his mother's lines, even  though she was French 
Canadian.  That was about 2 years  ago.  My search continues and I have not 
really 
looked at this family in  quite some time.


Saturday morning I received a benign message from a 70 year old woman on  
Ancestry.  Her husband had purchased the test kit for her as a Christmas  
gift.  She had received her results and was showing a 3rd to 4th  cousin match 
to Cory and was reaching out to me because I am the administrator  of his 
dna profile.  She was given up for adoption in 1945 in NY, and has  been 
searching for her biological family for 50 years.  Her husband had  bought her 
the Ancestry DNA test kit for Christmas.  She  wondered  if I had some small 
piece of information that could help her learn  something about her family.   
Due to her age, she suspected her  parents would have passed away by now.  
The only thing she knew about her  birth parents is that she had been told 
her mom was 17 when she was born, and  she believed her father may have been 
a married man. I responded and  explained that the test she was matching did 
not belong to me, but if she  would share her dna results with me, I would 
take a look, as I did have quite  a bit of information on Cory's family.


Then the whirlwind began.  It was readily apparent to me that this  adoptee 
was related to Cory through his mother.  I could see this due to  the 
common matches they shared.  I started to identify common ancestors  between 
her 
dna matches.  And I just couldn't stop.  I traced the  lines down and then 
found yet another common ancestor between unrelated 3rd  cousins, and again 
started to trace that line down and bang I found a  marriage between the 
two lines 5 dna cousins connecting to the wife and 6  unrelated dna 
cousins connecting to the husband.  I had identified this  adoptees 
grandparents!  I nearly fell off my chair.  This couple had  14 children.. 
which one 
was her parent?  Upon

Hi  all, 


Just had  to share my great find while in SLC! 
I have  been searching for my Grandmother coming to the USA for 30 years or 
more.  She always said she came in through the Port of NY  in Sept 1914 and 
 on her Alien Registration Papers she listed that her name as Maria Vieira  
da Silva when she arrived. That is what I've searched for, Maria Vieira da  
Silva coming on that date. Now, the Angra passports have now come online  
and I thought that I would search for EVERY Maria I saw on that list from  
August to the end of Sept 1914 and see what I could see because I've never  
been able to find her on the dates she gave under the name she gave. So,  when 
I had time between teaching classes and helping the other  researchers, I 
searched. On Thursday, right before lunch, I found her! She  came under the 
surname of her mother, Azevedo!! Sure enough, it said Maria  d'Azevedo, 17 
years, single from Norte Grande, daughter of Francisco  Vieira da Silva and 
Maria d'Azevedo! I'm sure everyone in Basement 1 heard  me, I was so excited! 
But the moral of the story for all Portuguese  researchers is, don't give up 
on the search and don't believe everything  your Grandparents said or 
wrote!! LOL 
From this  info I found her on the ship Patria and feel wonderful that I've 
finally  found my Va!!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA question

[netadosAcores via Azores Genealogy]

Thank you Cheri - that  extended explanation helps so much more in my 
understanding, or at least trying  to understand.
 
Both of the 1928 cousins  have tested a few years ago.  So tonight when I 
upgrade the 1921 cousin's  kit to Family Finder we are all hoping for a 
Lucky 7 year breakthrough at  finding more information as he is 4 generations 
away from Our Common Ancestor,  and the rest of the cousins are 5/6 
generations away and have less of the DNA  markers that we are looking for.
 
It's all so fascinating and  frustrating at the same time.

So my  dad is born in the 1930s, so his DNA should go back to the 1730s.  
It  does, I've found matches from the 1740s and 1730s.  However, my dad has a 
 match on his American side to an American ancestor born in 1696.  I have  
the exact same block or segment in my DNA too!  That's closer to 250  years 
back!  Same start and stop location, same amount of cenitMorgans  (cMs - a 
genetic unit of measure).  What that means is my dad has a  sticky segment.  
It won't split in half.  It's an all or nothing  deal.  He got that whole 
block from his mom.  He passed that whole  block onto me.  Did it get passed 
on to my sister?  Don't know,  she'd have to take a DNA test.  And if she got 
it too, did her kids get  it?  Maybe, maybe not.  Does everyone who 
descends from the 1696 man  have that segment or block in their DNA?  Nope.  
Some 
do and some  don't.


There's no crystal ball here.  If luck is on your  side (and if these 2 
cousins are related on this common ancestor), I'd test  both the 1921 and 1928 
people.  Heck, I'd test both of them anyways, just  to get the DNA.  It's 
stored for at least 25 years.  Who knows what  advances will be made by then.  
Sadly the people who are born in the  1920s probably won't be with us in 25 
years.  They are leaving their  legacy behind by testing their DNA.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA question

[netadosAcores via Azores Genealogy]

Cheri -
 
Family Finder goes back  200 years from the testee's  birth.
So if my cousin was born in  1928, minus the 200 years, then he would 
possibly match with anyone born after  1728.  
 
If we are trying to match  with anyone born before 1728 then we would have 
to keep digging in the  trenches.
 
If I were to upgrade  another cousin, who was born in 1921, there would be 
a slim chance that a match  would be found with in those additional 7 years, 
but worth the  upgrade to possibly narrow down the search years.
 
Did I understand, and write  that clearly?

Hi Al,


Which Eric?  I have a  few in the DNA project and several on this list  :)


You can order the Family Finder (regularly  $99, on sale for $89, and I can 
get you at least a $10 off, but SH is  $9.95).  That test  will cover all 
your lines back about 200 years from your birth.   If you have a living 
parent test them first because they have DNA back about  200 years from their 
birth.


Over time you will  make matches on your known lines and then you'll slowly 
start to figure out  those incognitos.


If you have a straight line  male descendant from the pai incognito (the 
son of the son of the son), you  could test his YDNA and isolate that one 
line. Eventually, someone with a  paper trail will test and you could figure 
out 
that line as  well.


Order here: http://goo.gl/51Nwwm   Well, let me check for a coupon first 
and email that code directly to  you.

Cheri

All this work is done by researchers in the  Institute of  Molecular

their 
work is available from their website.. I hate the fact that  science 
publishers make money every other way: the science is paid by the  
institutions, 
when an article is accepted the authors need to pay several  thousand euros 
to have it published, the peer reviewers all work for free, and  in the end 
the subscription to the journal costs a small fortune. In that  sense, the 
recent statement by the Bill Gates foundation that all work  sponsored by them 
should be freely available, should be followed by the  Portuguese Goverment.

Hello everyone.  I am  looking for birth date for Manuel dos  Reis.  Sorry 
but year, dates and months are hard for me.  I  also have a question about 
the parents for Manuel,  Base on what I can  see father is Felicio and mother 
is Esther, would this be  correct.
 
Thank you as always for your  help
