Searches are based on subject heading first, so I think we should stick to
actual subject, such as names, translation, history, passports, etc. Then
if you think it may be beneficial, you can add hyphen followed by your
village/island. ex. Translation of Medeiros record, 1880 - Achada, Sao
Hi Bridgette,
The Azorean government has digitized their records and have put them online

If you tested only for the ethnicity estimates, you're really not going to
be wowed by any company.
Your sample is run against a population sample at each company and they
decide how well you fit. At Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) the sample size was 25.
Just 25 to compare Azoreans, Madeirans,
I did my DNA through Ancestry and was surprised to see how small the
percentage of Iberian heritage was there. I discussed this with a
genealogist at my local library and she told me that for hundreds of years,
the Azores were a stopping point for all manner of ships from around he
