Hello All, I have not used this site in a long time - but have finally found a little time to do some research. Does anyone know how to use the CCA site? My grandfather was Francisco da Silva, born 1881 in Mosteiros, San Miguel, Ponta Delgado. He was the son of Henrique da Silva (1855) and Ana Jacinta de Medeiros. Also, can someone tell me a little more about the advantages of doing the DNA? Thanks, Ellen Ade On Monday, April 22, 2013 8:44:42 PM UTC-5, Cheri Mello wrote:
