Thanks for the recommendation, I booked him some time ago for May 9th, the
day our ship is in Sao Miguel. He's going to take us to Ponta Garca. I'm
very excited as I've never been to the Azores before.

Thanks much, Eric. I know the 1870 federal census lists my g'g'grandmother
as 18, and her Providence marriage record, but the family bible kept by her
daughter, my g'grandmother, lists the 1854 date I have been searching, and
has so far been accurate as to all other dates. Moreover, her death

When I started working on the family history as a teen in the '70s, I

leaders in establishing Portuguese-American genealogy. I understand that
she passed away some years ago.
Pat informed me that my g'g'grandfather
I just ordered the family finder test. Am I able to join more than one
project? My Azores line is on my father's fathers side and that is not the
only line I am researching. Would I get better results if I also have my
father do a test?

Yes, you can join more than one DNA Project. However, some projects accept
Family Finder and some are just strictly Y-DNA. So you will have to ask.

Have a great time, Pat and tell Carlos hello for me. When you return from your
trip, send me an email and tell me all about it. Also, one of my husband's
grandfathers was born in Ponta Garca. There may be a connection between your
ancestor and his.

If you are interested in your father's Azorean line then it would be better
to have him take the Family Finder test. I know that there are members of
the Azores DNA group that waited too long to test their parents.

Yes, you can join another project. I had a relative tested about 5 or 6
years ago under his surname project. I recently found out that there was a
project that was for the location he came from and they walked me through
the process. Easy. I would wait until your results come back from one and

David,
Looking over the Stone Fleet history, since they were mostly using old
whaling ships , it's reasonable that they would be using the men who had
sailed them before. Probably on a privateer basis. The only databases that
cover that area of the Civil War I've found is the Casualty
Thanks. Our brick walls are on my mom's side so I think I will take it but

Ralph S,
I'm not David, but I'm one of the admins on the DNA project.
Since your last name is Sellars, you can take a Y-DNA test for your Sellars
line. It will trace your father, your grandfather Sellars, your
great-grandfather Sellars, his father and his father and so on. You'll get
a focus
What is your grandmothers name? and her parents names etc There are a few
on the group that have ancestors from Lagoa, who maybe able to get you
further back.

Hi Cheri, I had my brother do the YDNA test and then upgraded it once (I
think to YDNA37 or 67?) If I were interested in chosing one of the choices
on sale, (perhaps the Family Finder) would it be considered an upgrade? or
a brand new test? Sorry...I know...I'm one of those last minute shoppers
