Hi All! I've been to two previous Azores conferences but I'm now getting re-energized for another possible one with much thanks to Edna who quite possibly found my great-grandfather John Sylvia in the Graciosa baptism records (link: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1841-1850/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1841-1850_item1/P105.html) and now what appears to be a sister of his from 1841. So this has me going back into the records and attempting to decipher what I can. The first two conferences I went to helped me a lot but I think I need more practice. Much of this all came about thanks to a newly posted close DNA match to a Da Silva. I'm seeing a lot of new DNA matches (yay!) and these are really helping me to break down barriers. I just wish more of them would upload to GEDMatch.
BTW, is anyone going to RootsTech next month? If so let me know as I will be there and we compare notes.
