Thanks Cheri! I thought so I thought it would be something like that. We are used to be mixed up to the Spanish. I am pleased with the results the test brought to me! I do not think to difficult to understand it. Anyway, any questions I will go back to you. I am following your "lessons".

Hi Eliseu, Because they have no Portuguese in the reference population. They have only Spanish, French, Basque, and the Ornkey Islands. It says at the top of the Population Finder page that it is in Beta. They are supposed to release a new Population Finder sometime this year with more populati

Hi Margie, Either a male or female can take the Family Finder test. And either a male or female can take an mtDNA test. Only men can take the Y-DNA test. But, if you are mixed like me, and have access to another relative who is less mixed, use that relative. I'm 1/4 Portuguese. My dad is half

Hi Cheri, I hate to sound stupid, but I have trouble figuring these out. If I were to do Family Finder do I have to use a male relative to trace the Portuguese family. Sorry but I thought I had to use a male relative. Thank You Margie In a message dated 7/29/2013 9:17:23 A.M. Pacific Daylig
