Kia, You need to join the Azores DNA Project here:
Log into the FTDNA page with the kit number and password. Across the top is says: myFTDNA, DNA Tests, Projects....Point at Projects. When the drop down menu appears, click "Join a project." If the Azores Islands appears on the top, click the link and scroll down to the JOIN button at the end. If the Azores Islands is not suggested, scroll down to where it says "Search by Surname" and type: azores. When Azores Islands appears, click the link follow the directions. There's no such thing as a "maternal DNA" test, so I'm going to have to have to guess you mean a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA). That's a specific type of DNA test that traces your mother's mother's mother's line ONLY. GedMatch is for autosomal DNA. That's a specific type of DNA test too. It's different than mtDNA or Y-DNA. If you tested mtDNA, you can't use GedMatch. You need to join the Azores DNA Project so I can see what type of test you took. Make sure you have your Gedcom uploaded to FTDNA so I can see your tree and your Jose Dias. MtDNA will NOT pick up his line as he was a male and not the mother of the mother of the mother of you.
