Hi Mary:  You mention Antonio X Constancia.  I have 104 Antonio de Mello X 106 
Constancia de Jesus.
Also:  234 Antonio do Rego Barbosa X 235 Constancia Rosa.

  If my brain is working properly, I believe that Ribeira Quente is close to 
Ponta Garca.  From what I can remember, there used to be a narrow path from 
Ribeira Quente to Ponta Garca.  Therefore, people would have their children in 
Ribeira Quente and baptise them in Ponta Garca.
Antonio (1759- pre 1851 is my #234. He was born in Ribeira Quente and Baptised 
in Ponta Garca.
Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

  I may be related to the same Antonio  Constancia. I matched Shirley Allegre 
on Family Finder and after many months we figured out that we shared common 
ancestors: Cipriano do Rego (1729-1782, Ponta Garça) and Antonia Barbosa 
(1725-1792, Vila Franca and Ponta Garça). I'm related to their daughter Maria 
de Jesus Rego or Barbosa (1760 - before 1828, Ponta Garça). My records show 
that Cipriano and Antonia also had a son Antonio (1759-before 1851, Ribeira 
Quente) who married Constancia Roza de Jesus (b. 1766, Ponta Garça).  Is that 
the same couple? Does it make sense that some children would be born in Ribeira 
Quente and some in Ponta Garça? 


  When I use the in common with feature on Family Finder for Shirley, we 
don't have anyone else in common. My grandfather was the relative born in Ponta 
Garça, so maybe I don't have enough Azores DNA to match others.


  I hope I am related to this line!

Thanks Shirley. Maybe I'm related to the other Antonio  Constancia, not 
the couple that Cheri was referring to. What are the birth and death dates

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Finder DNA, IT REALLY WORKS!!!

2013-07-27 Thread Mary MK
I looked back at my and Shirley's GEDCOMs on Family Finder and I see may be 
related to an aunt of Constancia de Jesus (who married Antonio de Mello).

Shirley shows Constancia's grandparents as Joao Fagundes Rabello 
(1705-1780, Ponta Garça) and Thereza de Sousa Furtada (1707-1771, Vila 
Franca  Ponta Garça). I have that same couple as parents of my direct 
relative: Jacinta Furtado (1727-1797, Ponta Garça). So if this is right it 
would be another link with Shirley. I'm guessing there might be more links 
if I keep searching.  I don't know if Ciprano is in my tree more than once, 
but wouldn't be surprised.
So I think I'm related to Shirley through both my g-grandmother and my 
g-grandfather! This might help explain the fragmented DNA matches.

This is interesting!

 1766 in Vila Franca m. to Constancia de Jesus Pimentel b. in Ponta Garca

 60 cMs (centoMorgan - a genetic unit of measure like a centimeter or 
 inch...but it's microscopic) with Shirley and have 20 segments, but they 
 are pretty fractured all over the place.  The biggest block is on 
 chromosome 10 (use your Chromosome Browser) and you'll see 3 blocks there.

 Do you have Ciprano do Rego  Antonia Barboza more than once in your 
 tree?  I wonder if this is contributing to the fragmentation.  Once we 
 start making more and more paper trail connections, I think we will be able 
 to help the geneticists with our intermarrying ancestors.

 Yes, Ponta Garca was there first.  Then Ribeira Quente.  So you will a lot 
 of references back and forth between the 2 freguesias.
