Antonio, Yes that was the point I was trying to make,that the DNA was intermingled with the Jews in their migration towards the Azores. Though thousands of years old it still shows up in small amounts. Just out of curiosity if there were any other reasons some of these populations could be showing up in Portuguese DNA I did a quick in google and came up with an interesting link. I had already known about the Romans ( they are where we get Hispania and Luso from ) , the Visigoths and the Suevi But there are some interesting tidbits that make it worth reading .http://www.ensignmessage.com/gadinspain.html
