Hi!
Does anybody have any information on these:
Francisco de Sousa da Silva married Anna Perpétua.
His parents were António de Sousa da Silva and Maria Perpétua and her
parents were José Espínola Picanço and Maria Perpétua Ortins.
Questions about José Espínola Picanço and Maria Perpétua
Hello Shirley!
Thank you for reminding me that when talking about Azorean-Jewish roots it is
important to remember that there was a very busy and well established Jewish
presence in the Azores beginning in the 19th century when Jews from Morocco
came to the islands. That wave is fairly well
Thanks, Richard!
I wonder if anyone has ever see the term New Christian on any Azorean vital
record. I never have (not even in the earliest records from Ribeira Grande) and
I know no one who has.
I wonder why. We know that Jews in 16th century Azores converted either
willingly or to avoid the

I have never heard of DNA testing for the purpose of tracing a family
line but it has my curiousity pecked. If I decide to have it done, which
test should I have done first?

Nell,
Depends on your goal. If you want to focus on one line only and have
access to a male relative from that line, then you would want a Y-DNA
test. If you want to focus on your mother's mother's mother's line (all
women - that one line only), you'd want an mtDNA test (which yields more

I'm interested in doing both lines. Both of my parents are deceased. Do I
understand correctly that the testee should be the oldest person you can
find? For example, on my mother's side I could do her sister who is 89 yrs.
old and on my father's side I could do my brother who is 70 yrs. old?
Nell,
Yes, if you have access to your parents' siblings that is the better
choice.
Since I don't know your goal, I'd advise you to do a Family Finder on the
89 year old now with this sale. You can order mtDNA on her later.
If you have the money, you could do the Family Finder on the 70 year

Nell,Yes, always test the person from the oldest generation.But if you and your siblings were all who are still alive, then any of your generation are going to be relatively the same. Of course, you are not the exact same as your siblings. One of you might have inherited different DNA from your

Hello All,
I have not used this site in a long time - but have finally found a little
time to do some research. Does anyone know how to use the CCA site? My

Ponta Delgado. He was the son of Henrique da Silva (1855) and

Doug,
Thank you. Often times we are disappointed because our expectaions aren't
met. I could see myself heading that way with these tests. I'm not sure
they can tell me what I want to know. I need to do more research. I'm
curious to know why you have not had it done.

Nell,I must not have been clear enough.I got tested with Family Finder as well as mt-DNA representing my mother's maternal line.I never got the Y-DNA test because my father did it and there is no reason I can see to duplicate that.What I meant to say is that I have never had one of my siblings get

Excuse me for dropping into the middle of a conversion, but there is both a

I have an ancestor from Porto Judeu named de BADILHO in the late 1600s.It just occurred to me that this name is too similar to another one de BOBADILHO to be overlooked.I wonder if anyone has successfully linked them.One could speculate that the original for Badilho is the longer form
I should have added that there is one João Rodrigues de Badilho who could be the person who brought this name to Terceira. I estimate he was born about 1475. He married into one of the three Cardoso branches of Terceira. Maybe I will find an additional piece of information from Fenix Angrence as

I am new to the group and I am working on my wife's side of our family tree.
The ancestor I am working on currently is Dionesia (Rose) Jesus Silvia--born

1910. She had 4 boys Manuel, Agostinho (August) my wife's
My grandfather is a Medeiros from Faial da Terra, Sao Miguel. There are
many Medeiros folks there and I can't recall the source but I read many
years ago that the original Medeiros immigrants to the Azores first settled
at the eastern end of Sao Miguel.
Good luck,

many miles apart but all in the Atlantic Ocean.I would guess

David P,
I think I read somewhere that the first settlement on Sao Miguel was
Povoacao (means population). And I think it was in the 1400s, but I'm not
entirely sure I'm remembering that right. Someone with more history
knowledge will chime in, I'm sure.
