Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder Sale only on Family Tree DNA
Cheri, I would like to do this on my husband who is mostly Italian. If you can spare the coupon he would not be in the Azores group. My maternal side is Irish English and that wouldn't help with my paternal Azores side.

So they have the largest database. They use some big name geneticists and stay current on the latest discoveries and follow current guidelines for DNA testing. Their turn around time is about 2-4 weeks on Family Finder, depending on the size of the batch (they tell you 6 weeks, which is their max). Ancestry started out as a publishing company. Then they built their online database (U.S. Census and other images you can see). Then they got into DNA. Last Nov, they started their own kind of Family Finder test. Those who ordered last November got their results in April. Five or 6 months later. Since they are just launching this, their database is really small and you probably won't get as many matches. And probably none that are Portuguese. Test with FTDNA. I have 92 Family Finder results, 4 at the lab, and I don't know how many coupons I have given out. I'll post what's been ordered in a couple of days.

Hi Cheri, Thanks for the coupon. I just have one more question, my gg grandfather was de Souza, do I just enter Souza?

Today is May 31st, the last day of the month. I am switching ISP providers due to my move. The cable company is cutting this one off today. I don't know if it's at 11:59 pm or what. The phone company will install the new one, but I could not schedule them until Saturday. So Friday and part of Saturday I won't have complete Internet access. I can view the emails and send a very short reply though my not-so-smart smart phone. I won't be forwarding coupons until Saturday. And yes, keep the coupons coming if you have already tested and won't be using them. I still need many more. For those of you who have ordered, make sure you are part of the Azores DNA Project. 1) Log into your DNA page with the kit number and password provided. 2) At the top, look for the blue navigation bar and point at Projects. Choose Join from the drop down menu. 3) In the search box for surnames, type in: azores. Click Search. 4) From the list, click on Azores Islands, Port 5) Scroll down to the bottom and click the orange JOIN button.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder Sale only on Family Tree DNA
Gail, If you are asking about entering Souza in the surname search box on FTDNA, don't bother. Enter Azores to be sure you get into the Azores Islands, Port. DNA project.
