Hi Cheri I have found out more about this Do Couto for Du Coyte that you so kindly suggested. Spot on, absolutely correct. The English of course have trouble pronouncing European names and so there is a myriad of spellings. I have even seen DeKoyte. I have some more questions but will get

It's the French that gets misread. There was some French influence on Sao Miguel and my mom has some French as well. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Tue, Nov 26, 2019 at 6:45 PM

Plus you can’t be 33% of your dad is only 12% Iberian, lol. Your chart is crazy. Is the French possibly because of the Flemish? Jesse had previously been tagged as more French. All 4 of his own grandparents immigrated to Hawaii from either São Miguel or Madeira, yet he is about 15-20% other.

Debbie, Your husband's R-M269 is not helpful for genealogy. However, you know where he falls on the tree of mankind. Look at your husband's Y-DNA matches. He's got 4 decent ones (Genetic Distance of 1 or 2). Three out of the 4 people have trees and the one missing a tree is managed by the same

Ancestry uses trees for the "spot on" analysis. Imagine the poor person who has a poorly researched tree and everyone copies without verification? And they are on the wrong island(s)? People move around, so pinpointing a location is going to be close to impossible with DNA. My dad is 50% Azorean

Thanks Cheri, for the info. My husband’s Y-37 turned out to be the most common, R-M269. I haven’t figured out how it is helpful, yet. FTDNA got my husband’s locations correct, too. Azores, São Miguel and Madeira. It also listed Guyana as a diaspora possibility, but not São Paulo Brazil—

There's DNA tests and then there are components to the DNA tests. The DNA tests aren't too hard to differentiate: 23 and Me: Autosomal only. AncestryDNA: Autosomal only. Family Tree DNA (FTDNA): Y-DNA, mtDNA, and Autosomal DNA. Living DNA: Autosomal only. My Heritage: Autosomal only. All

The difference of DNA tests between FTDNA and Ancestry is impossible to understand.I traced a line very carefully. One brother used FTDNA, his sister used Ancestry. FTDNA results came out very closely to my research to the 1500’s Portuguese, Italian, Croatian and English. Ancestry says
