Sorry, I'm not clear. I should have asked where you tested your DNA. You can most likely transfer to Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) and it's free. If you want to see their ethnicity ESTIMATES or utilize any of FTDNA's tools, it's $19 USD. Every company has different ethnicity ESTIMATES. I don't put too much weight on them. It's still too early in that part of the DNA science. You can read Judy Russell, The Legal Genealogist, explanation here: https://goo.gl/7FYEcj
To transfer to FTDNA, make your FTDNA account: https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomal-transfer Then download your raw data from Ancestry (or find it on your computer - it's the same file you uploaded to GedMatch). Upload your raw data to FTDNA. After you get your matches, join the Azores DNA Project on FTDNA (with the previous directions I sent). Hope to see you soon in the project!
