[AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit (Graciosa -- da Silva) -- UPDATE

All, Thanks so much for the replies and suggestions. I combined all my comments and updates into one e-mail in order to avoid posting too many individual posts on the list. Given the comments I saw on SATA it sounds like using TAP as proposed may be a good choice. I think I'd like to pass on

Hi Everybody, I just booked a 2-week open trip to Spain and am hoping to include a swing through the Azores out of Lisbon maybe for about 3 days. I have so many questions, looking for advice from those who may have visited. First of all, it would be wonderful to look up da Silva family on

Hi Helen, I have a John Joseph Sylvia who immigrated from Graciosa to the Yreka area. I have seen references that his surname might have been Cunha. Do you have a family tree of this line that you wouldn't mind sharing with me? Thanks! Ken psI was going to PM you but noticed your e-mail

Just to follow up to Cheri's note another option is to go to your nearest Family History Center to get free full access to Ancestry and the census. I let my Ancestry subscription lapse so I started using FHC's until I happily discovered the local library option. I take advantage of that often and

I saw it on this morning's show. It was a very brief part of a much longer segment. Most importantly it showed a true success story of how you can use DNA to confirm (or negate) a suspected family connection. This one had a heartwarming conclusion. Here's a link to the story and video:

Much thanks go to Cheri, Rosemarie, and Joao for putting on another great workshop. For those who want to dig deeper into Azorean research this is a great chance to learn more, especially for those new to the effort. I found some newspaper and CCA sources that will help me continue my research.

Hi Cheri, If you have a kit # you can send it to me (privately, if you wish) to see if I can run tests on it. Perhaps it really didn't get stored properly. Or, perhaps there was an issue with the download. I've uploaded quite a few records to GEDMatch and they've all been stored and analyzed
