My two cousins and I have DNA match who is researching the surnames Kopke
(Koepke) and Moniz. I was surprised that they had their Kopke ancestor
from Sao Miguel island.
I was sure this was a mistake. However, a little searching and I came
across a history of Nicolau Kopke of Germany who came
root in Porto Formoso.
