Paul G, The "Trace Regions" are just that. I think that even 3% is trace. Not only is it cocktail party conversation, with trace amounts, you may be entitled to the whole bottle of vinho! ;) Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Some Thoughts on Ethnicity Estimates

Two people so far in the Azores like this one. We'll have to wait for the release of their paper. I'd like to see the samples from 17 B.C. and how they obtained them! Like I said, it's an ethnicity ESTIMATE, we read it, and it becomes cocktail party conversation. The real meat of DNA is its use i

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Some Thoughts on Ethnicity Estimates

The genetic makeup of the Iberian Peninsula and the Azores populations has been mostly constant the last 200 years, but if we go back 2000 years it was subject to many influences. Iberia was invaded by the Romans but a native population existed previously. That Native group was the actual Iber

Cheryle Did you download the Portuguese Genealogical Word List from either FamilySearch.org Wiki or from the Azores GenWeb Site? Both those documents have all of the words you need to know to understand the Baptisms/Marriage/Deaths of the Catholic Church records. As we talked about in the DAR Class

Babies could be left on someone's doorstep. Or they could be left at the "roda" at the church. There's a small door on the church wall that when opened, has a lazy Susan type thing in it. Offerings to the church were placed on the roda (wheel). Sometimes the offerings were a baby. The purpose for t

That's the blah-blah-blah that they sent to everyone who squawked. 100-2000 yeas is a huge variance. I don't know about you, but 2000 years ago is beyond my paper trail. Doesn't 2000 years ago lead us to the Roman Empire? So now we can all be Italian? Previously they said it was only for 100-200 y
