RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Distant Family Finder cousin match to Denmark on Family Tree DNA

[pico]

Hello Maria Natalia,

I have something similar in my Family Finder matches.

One person seems to have nothing but Australian ancestors, but there is one unknown father in their line. So I suggested to them the possibility that somewhere in my ancestry there was a son or grandson who was a whaler who traveled the world, stopping for a time Down Under.

I'll have to look for this person and see if anyone else on this list has a match. I think I asked them if anyone else seems to have mostly Portuguese ancestry and I don't remember the response. If we can find another who matches them, we might be able to at least narrow down the likely island.

Your story is really fascinating. Is there any way you can find a direct male line descendant of your pai incognito who is living and can do the Y test? That would be the ultimate proof, I think.

Thanks for your reply Aaron!  So far my roots are deep in the Azores and I have not found when my ancestors arrived on the islands. Both of my parents came from Sao Miguel so I know when they left and what villages they came from, so I had a head start on my research as far as that is concerned.  I was just surprised to match someone from Denmark, because I had always assumed I was 100% Portuguese from the Azores!  So I'm glad I had my family finder DNA done.
