Hi Hugo, It depends on when you tested with 23 and Me. They have changed their chip again and it may not be compatible with Family Tree DNA. Let me know about when you tested and I will let you know if the raw data file can transfer over. Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) was found in 2000, before 23 and

Thanks Cheri. I do not mind the information being posted online. In fact, it's probably a good idea. I had my DNA tested by 23AndMe and have the data file. I uploaded the file to myHeritage and it came back with a few matches, one of whom pointed me to this group. Can I share my DNA file with

Great find, Julio! Hugo, Julio figured out your lines and put it in his program. Then he made a printout that he sent to the list. So the information he gave you is not on the Internet. It is in his genealogy program. Also, many from Sao Jorge island have DNA tested and it's very easy to figure

Hi Hugo, If the group photo was taken in April, maybe someone was handing out a copy to each of the men. To keep track, they noted the date they gave them the photo?? Maybe it's the date each man left. So many things it could be. At least it establishes more of a time line for you. The photo

Apologies, Cheri. I do not wish to exclude anyone. What I said above (for the benefit of all) is this: Joaquim de Souza Silveira, my maternal grandfather, had at least one brother (whom, I believe, was older). His name was José de Souza Silveira. I know little about him, but I have two photos
