Cheri,
On the plus side, I know my newly identified 5th cousins is from the
Achada/Mello side of the tree. He is not related to the Pacheco line of
FVC. That's got to account for something :)

They don't HAVE TO have the same chromosome 2 sequence. It's really nice
when it happens, because it makes it easy, but as in life, most things
AREN'T easy. G.

Cheri,
That gives me a little bit of a time frame to work with. I'm slowly
piecing together my mid to early 1700s for the Pacheco line.
Unfortunately, my direct Pacheco line end in a Pai Incognito, so if it's
that line, then I will never know.
It's interesting how DNA works out. I have
It goes back roughly 200 years from the birth of the testee. In your case,
the mid-1700s.
You could have a sticky segment from the early 1700s. Maybe one of your
ancestors had a couple of siblings who went out west to Pico. Just a couple
of scenarios.

Over the last year, I've been noticing 4th to remote cousin DNA matches
whose trees are entirely on Pico. I pretty much ignored them because my
tree several generations back is entirely on Sao Miguel Island. I didn't
really think much of it and thought maybe they are identical by state,
5 matches
