RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] mt-DNA of Maria de Serpa from Pico

Yes, I see that now. I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing that out. I have over 1,000 of her descendants so far. But by the time I'm done, I'm sure it will be more like 3,000.I also have many Serpa ancestors. It would be nice to see some identified by Haplotype and then compared to all those on

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: DNA information (New Admin; Conference Sale; AncestryDNA)

Hi Cheri, Please do share that idea. I'm pretty sure that the FamilyFinder matching functionality could improve a lot if people were able to not only say they are related, but HOW they are related. Of course, scientifically you do need to take that information with a grain of salt: even though

Thank you all who responded. I checked the marriage records for the island in Croatia which are online at familysearch (easy to read.all you have to look for is interragato and the name of the groom and his father and bride and her father follow) and I am pretty sure the Croatian spelling is

I guess after a long weekend and trying to get the DNA sales news out, I just wasn't clear. 1) This is a mini-sale. The Sizzling Summer Sale will come later in the summer. No, I don't know what they will put on sale and I don't know if they will include upgrades or not. I'm a volunteer

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Lost in Candelaria, Sao Miguel -help only 2 days left

I read an article in one of the local papers a few months back that work on this church went ahead w/out the priests consent. There is a whole lot of controversy over what is being done because it is not staying w/the old architecture of the church and few other issues. The priest is a puppet

[AZORES-Genealogy] What was the average life span for Azorean women in the 1700s?

I'm working through the Achada marriages in the mid to late 1700. As I've been taking notes on all of them, I've been stricken by something. A good majority of the mothers are deceased by the time their children marry. I have made any determination of ages. But, I suspect many didn't make

Herb,As you know, there doesn't seem to be a perfect match for the parents of your ancestor from Se, Angra.The baptism you found could very well be right, even though the first name of the mother is not matching.Or it could be that Jose was born out of wedlock and this is not mentioned at his

Eliseu, I didn't really have anything on him except the info. in RR and the 2nd marriage certificate giving his name as Manoel Rebello Carneiro. So, I went looking for the first marriage record (I thought I already had it, but I didn't). Here is what I found:
