Hi Eliseu, Because they have no Portuguese in the reference population. They have only Spanish, French, Basque, and the Ornkey Islands. It says at the top of the Population Finder page that it is in Beta. They are supposed to release a new Population Finder sometime this year with more populations in it. Last year, they did a survey of those who had done Family Finder who had ancestors born in another country besides America. Those are to be included as well.
My dad is half Portuguese and they put him with French! And he has no French that I can find. His "American" half is made up of a lot of British Isles ancestry: English, Irish, Scottish, Welch. He has one German line back 200 years ago (same line as my mom!) Your matches: Take a look at George Pacheco's tree (the blue button underneath the name of your match). Look at Trevor Todd Costa. Stephen J. Rapoza. Nancy Lee Couto. They all have trees. William L. Boyd has Graciosa. It might be easier to start with him since Graciosa is fairly small and it would be easier to find his Graciosa lines in his tree. I will work with Laura Gelvin to get her tree up. She's newer to genealogy. She came to our conference in Utah (She lives there). She's younger, maybe about 30, and has at least one daughter. She's of mixed ancestry. Not only Portuguese, but Cape Verde and other stuff that I can't remember. She doesn't post a lot on the list but is a member.
