Dear Fawn, I am STILL trying to make that connection. Cheri has been working
with me some on how to figure it all out but I’m not the brightest bulb in the
chandelier when it comes to this stuff! LOL

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,

I'm also watching this thread with interest since I have connections to
Rosais and Norte Grande. These witness names are similar to my names. I haven't
noticed a FF match though to others from here for me or my uncle, John
Baptiste.....except to Rosemarie as a 5th to remote.

It looks to me like the priest (Paulo Silveira Bettencourt) baptized the
child because they thought he might die. Witnesses were (my guess) Jose de
Souza Silveira Bettencourt and Joao Jose de Bettencourt.
I am interested since I have connections to Rosais and Norte Grande, plus a
DNA match (5th to remote cousin) between myself and your husband. But I don't
see an immediate connection to these people. :)

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,
Fawn Silva
