This is exactly what we need in order to have scientific proof. Otherwise, we will never know for sure. We NEED to figure this out. It's an intriguing story that needs to be told and properly researched.
Is there anyway that we could identify a direct male descendant of Joao Afonso das GF? Then get the Y DNA done on that person? Is there anyone in this group that is on the direct paternal line to Joao Afonso das GF? Please, please identify yourself and would you please do a Y DNA test? If too cost prohibitive, I am sure a bunch of us would sponsor that test for you, me included.
