Hi All,
Just had to share the excitement of finding another cousin on the Family Finder
test! I am connected to Kathy Cardoza’s husband, Wayne Cardoza. We are 6th
cousins once removed, now I hope to connect with Kathy when her FF comes
through! It’s really funny that all of my connections are
That is a good idea Courtney

Bill S,
Fantastic, you got the transcription correct!
I'm not sure of what the word in between (in the margin) is. Someone else

Sorry Margaret I was going through the records but had to go help harvest
so I was busy with that and had to stop and was just going to start going
through them again but thank you so much for finding it.
Thank you

Good tip! I recently attended some workshops where they talked about
boring "organizing." But when I listened, I remembered of how I was so
unorganized, didn't document all my sources nor with dates and many, many
years later, it's bothering me. So the workshop on organizing would've

Hello Everyone!
I gathered some genealogical clues for my uncle who took a trip to the Azores.
This is his story which he gave me permission to share. I thought everyone
here on the list would enjoy it! It's inspiring me to plan my own trip!!!

Marilyn,
To use the function, you go to the family finder page and about a quarter of
the way down you see a section entitled "Filter Matches By." In that section,
you can see a Relations section. In that section is a drop down menu that that

OK I guess I am just very dense. I do not know where to find the "In Common
With" section on FTDNA. I have confirmed several on the known relationship
page as Distant Cousins, but do not know where to go from there. I did ask
that 2 of them add a GEDCOM. One person, John E Machado, I can see where
I live in Fenais da Luz. When you come if you want drop me a line and may be I

Elisabeth S,
I'm not sure how to read your post. Your title is "In Common With" and in
the body you wrote "Not In Common With." Not sure which filter you are
running.

Courtney,
Again, you need to READ this about how to trace your ancestors:

You DID NOT find your ancestor's naturalization record. You found an index
card. If you read the section on naturalization, you will see you need to
order the naturalization packet from the USCIS.
You will

Very good, Joao. I figured out the language issue and have started searching.

from Cedros to Salao in the late 1700s. I have my grandfather's birth

You have certainly come-a-long-way in just 3 years!! You are so right about
