Cheri, Your help with our trees was invaluable. Let me add my thanks to Pat's. She and I had quite the chat the other day. I'm sure it will be the first of many.

Four years ago I saw a post on the Azores Google Group asking if anyone had Martins from Feteira Faial in their tree. I was so excited because I did and it had been a dead end. I contacted Deb McCabe and we compared notes. We were convinced that we probably were 3rd cousins. Fast forward to FTDNA. Yes, we are 3rd cousins! We are meeting in person for the first time in 2 weeks. I'm so excited because she is the first living relative I have found on my father's side. Previously the only paternal relatives I have ever known were my father, my grandfather (who died when I was 5) and my aunt who was childless. Thank you Cheri, I couldn't have done this without you. You are forever in my debt. Can't wait till the conference!
