Yes, I believe I posted that link to Roberta Estes' article. Ancestry tests
about half the family markers. FTDNA has the most family markers compared

Dear Mickey, Cheri and all,
I know that lots of people have used the strategy to test at Ancestry and
then transfer their results to FtDNA, as a cost saving measure, however
recent Ancestry tests (since about spring of 2016) are apparently testing
less genealogy markers and more health related
Thanks again Cheri, I'm confident at the % of Portuguese in my estimates
knowing the rest of my ancestry back five or six generations. All existing
documents place my great great grandfather in either Pico, Azores or
Madeira (though I think Madeira was only a stepping stone) and DNA matches

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

Thanks for the tip Cheri, originally my DNA was tested by Ancestry, I have
added it to GEDmatch, but I'm still learning about various comparisons
available. I only have 7% Iberian Peninsula DNA to work with, so have
relied on matches on my maternal side, with Portuguese sounding names. I do

Thank you Cheri, I have found family researchers to be a friendly and
generous bunch of people. With regards the culture and customs of the time
many things can go unchanged, even after 200 years, and I have managed to
glean small bits of information from stories, journals, histories and ships
Michael,
You need to join the Azores DNA Project. You should have your Gedcom
uploaded and be working with matches of 100 cMs or greater (on your
Portuguese side).
Having a DNA match in the Azores, California, or Oregon doesn't mean
anything. Suppose you match me and I just got a job and now I li
Hi Eric, I have a DNA match in Texas who has done some research herself and
had some done professionally. I contributed a bit to the process. As
regards the convict history, that is well documented here in Australia.
There are also DNA matches in the Azores, Oregon, California and I am
trying t
Hi Michael,
The reading of the Portuguese language records and naming practices is on
the Azores Genweb. It's hosted on Rootsweb and Rootsweb is down for a
couple of weeks.
I don't know the cultural, social, or other customs of the 1820s in the
Azores. Sorry. Cheri

Hi all, I'm an Australian, descendant of Manuel Jacinto, born Sao Joao Pico
9 December 1825, son of Manuel Jacinto De Avila and Rosa Francesca. I can
only speak English, so I struggle with Portuguese language and naming
practices, any information in that regard would much appreciated. I'm also
