Hi Sherry, If you tested with FTDNA, you need to join the Azores DNA Project so I can look. If you have not tested at FTDNA, you need to download your raw data and upload it to FTDNA as well as My Heritage. You need to fish in as many ponds as you can with your (or your mom's) DNA.
Once I see your matches, I can tell you if you are matching Vila Franca researchers.
