Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for my family in Flores Azores
Jean, Although there are 3 testing companies for genealogy as Eric mentioned, 23andMe really focuses on health. Ancestry has a lot of commercials (and sells your DNA to big pharmaceutical for $750). The last one, Family Tree DNA is where the Azores project is housed. They don't sell your DNA to a third party, they aren't focused on health either. And they are having a sale until December 31st: https://goo.gl/qr9d4u Their autosomal DNA test is called Family Finder. It's on sale for $59 (+$12.95 S&H). However, DNA won't give you the name of Jose Dias' parents or the name of the ship he worked on. It will tell you who else you share DNA with, a range, their trees (if they uploaded it), a Chromosome Browser, and your ethnic and ancient origins. The records of the Azores are online. Even though you know Flores, you can probably find a Jose Dias born in 1833 in many villages: tombo.pt/en (stay in the left column and navigate to Flores).

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for my family in Flores Azores
Jean, Have you done Autosomal DNA testing ? FTDNA and 23nME both offer this. So does Ancestry.com I'm working on Flores families that emigrated to New Zealand and Australia, and this may be the only way to make the connection A fellow researcher has gone to Flores and taken many DNA samples from local families Eric Edgar On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 6:17 PM, jean Edmondson wrote: > My Great, Great Grandfather was Joseph Dix ( Diaz ) born in 1833 in Flores > Azores, but I do not know the name of his Mother and Father and would love > to find out. > Joseph worked on a whaling ship.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for my family in Flores Azores
My Great, Great Grandfather was Joseph Dix ( Diaz ) born in 1833 in Flores Azores, but I do not know the name of his Mother and Father and would love to find out. Joseph worked on a whaling ship. He jumped ship and stay on the Chatham Islands. I would like to know the name of the ship he worked on and also find out the names of his parents. Can anyone help me. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
