Fawn U, The answer to all your questions and a form letter can be found here: http://goo.gl/NmnDD As for the cost, I'm not sure. I haven't had to write away for a record for a long time. I think it's around $20 a record though. Others who have written recently will answer that part. Cheri

Ria, They are called Multi Bank Boxes (possibly Multi Banco Caxia? in Portuguese). There's a button to have the screens displayed in English. As for if you can use your Visa card (or MasterCard for that matter), you will have to call the bank that issued your card to find out about the

I was catching up on reading my Dick Eastman newsletters/blog and he had a little bit more information on the Y-DNA 12 test. Sounds like they will be lowering the basic mtDNA test too. You can read it here: http://goo.gl/NQYAd Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta

Doug, When this happens, you can email FTDNA at: i...@familytreedna.com. They will look and see if there is a 2nd email addy listed and give them your email note addy. If that doesn't work, they can mail a letter via post. She is not part of the Azores project, so you'll have to have FTDNA

Wow Eric! I can't thank you enough for finding this information for me! This is very, very helpful, and might have taken me years to find. Louis Jr. left the family in 1941 and nobody ever knew what happened to him, so I thought there was no way I'd find his parents. Thanks again, Kathleen On

All, A 12 marker test is a great place to start. I paid for the 67 marker test on my Y-DNA and didn't get even one match on the 12, so it was just a waste of money at this point. Go with the 12 and see what you need from there. Walt On Friday, February 22, 2013 12:03:56 PM UTC-6, E

For the past three years, I have stayed in the Azores for 12 weeks in the summer and used my debit card from my U.S. to withdraw euros. I've never had a problem. My bank does charge a foreign transaction fee and an interbank charge on these transactions, which work out to about $5-6 per
