Hi Fawn,

Since we also match Buzzie, are you planning to post a gedcom for him so we can figure out our connection?

Thanks,

Hello Nancy Jean,

Thank you for thinking of my father.  He is doing some better & I will be going home to St Louis on Friday.

Dennis Silva is my husband & Buzzie Mendonca is his mother's brother.  Dennis' mother passed away so we asked Uncle Buzzie to do a DNA test for us and he kindly accepted.

Just wondering if you are Portuguese thru your mother & your father.  If you are Azorean on both sides of your family, like my husband is, the DNA matches you mention might be closer for you because you are related closer on the family side that your uncle is not related to.  Am I making sense??  You might be related to my husband on both sides of his family, his mother's side (Buzzie) and his father's side (Dennis' DNA) but the DNA match will give you the closest one, in this case 4th remote.  I think that could explain this.

Cheri, is that right???

Rosemarie, how fun to be connected to you!  You worked with my cousin, Noreene, and you are a cousin to my husband!!

Our Silva's were also Silveira & are from Calheta & then Ribeira Seca & then it goes to Topo.  Have no Lemos in the family tree but have Silveira, Soares Sigueira, Bettencourt Avila, Alveres Silveira & others from Rosais.  Also family from Pico & Faial & Terceira but the majority are from Sao Jorge & Pico.

Would love to find out how we all connect!!

Hi Fawn,
 
I hope your father is improving.
 
Both myself and my Uncle John Cardoza Baptiste match Buzzie Mendonca.....he shows as 4th -remote match to me and 5th-remote to my uncle.....I would have thought it would be just the opposite since Uncle John's a generation earlier. I noticed you are the contact for Dennis Wilbert Silva who is a 4th-remote match to me but not to my uncle.
 
Best regards,
Nancy Jean

A belated thank you to those who helped me with this.  My father had a stroke & I am in CA caring for him & my mother & I failed to thank you for your help and ideas.

Mary & Nancy, my husband's uncle also had his DNA done for us & is on the site as Buzzie Mendonca.  My husband has a number of family lines that link to Rosais and then the one to Norte Grande.

Thanks again,

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble understanding a baptism on the CCA site.  It is for Antonio, son of Joao Jacinto de Sigueira, native of Rosais & Barbara Joaquina Rosa, native of Norte Grande, born on the 25th of May 1834 & I think baptized on the 29th in the home.  I don't know what the rest says & google translate is absolutely no help on this one.  I see witnesses but no padrinhos.  Did this child die?  I checked the obitos & could not find him. Why was he baptized in the home?  The baptism is on the top left of the pg.

Help!  Please.

Thanks,
