Giselle; Can you share the "few generations back" that you speak of? I also have Machado's from Ilha de Sao Jorge as I'm sure many others on this list do as well. Have you done the Family Finder test with Family Tree DNA? Many of us have and find connections that way.

Hi. I am new to the forum. I live in Atlanta, but I do have Portuguese as my native language. I descend from a Manoel Machado born in Velas, Ilha de São Jorge, Açores. He married Maria Rosa on 24 Apr 1740 in Santa Luzia, Ilha Terceira, Açores. Maria Rosa was born in São Pedro, Ilha Terceira, Açores. I have a few generations back, too. I was just wondering if there are many people of Azorean descent here in the US. Other names that show up for me are Fagundes, Fernandes, Nunes, Alves and Albernaz. All in the Azores Islands. I also have a lot of mainland Portuguese and Germans on my father's side. I was hoping to find some lost cousins one day! -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
