That's right!  Cheri has been the driving force for our little group 
for many years.  I remember those yearrs well!  I am one of 
those "oldtimers", too.  She has always been so knowledgeable and helpful 
and kind to everyone.  She is a shining star and a credit to our 
ancestry!  Thank you Cheri for all of your hard work, patience and 
dedication.  We are all dearly indebted to you.  Congratulations on 
your anniversary.

  when AOL bailed out on us Cheri went ahead and set up Azores List, A LESSER

1000 email addresses subscribed to his list now.  Seven years ago, I 
thought I would wind up with 300 or maybe 350 members.  As those

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Anyone heard of AncestrybyDNA?

[Vivian Christy]

I did the Ancestry DNA test when they have me a promotional amount of 9.00.  It 
is surprising as I have 4 matches all portuguese and the ones that have large 
trees on Ancestry.com they will actually tell you the persons you match at on 
your trees.  So I was surprised because they were correct in saying it was my 
4th cousin on one match and it is my fourth cousin.  We are now communicating 
through Ancestry.  So the one advantage to Ancestry is they have my Tree and 
the Trees of the other people and they can find the match for you.  Depending 
on how much information you have in your tree.  So I might do both AncestryDNA 
for my family and also FTDNA that I have already.  
 
A lot of times names that you are looking for in your family can be so many it 
is to hard to put them all down.  Also because of the naming practices of the 
Portuguese you never know what your going to come up with.  I need to update my 
FTDNA sites with my Gedcom but have not done that yet.  So chances are I might 
have more relatives to find..
 
I know I match a Bob Ross but have not heard back from him yet.  He is on the 
Azores List.

In my own view, Genealogical DNA testing is best done through a company 
that has at least two factors in its favor: 1) a significant database of 
participants to use to compare to your own DNA sample, and 2) a proven track 
record. 

Family Tree DNA has been around the longer and has a larger participant 
database.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Happy 7th Birthday to the Azores Genealogy List!

[Cheri Mello]

OK, if you must know ...

I've been at this 20 years.  First I was on AOL and ran the Portuguese chat
there with Mel (of YourIslandRoutes), John Vasconcelos, and Linda C who did
the Madeira questions.  When the AOL genealogy chats were reconfigured by
AOL, the Portuguese chats went to LusaWeb.  Chats eventually had their
day.  Lists/listservs were taking over.  Most genealogy lists were housed
on Rootsweb.  The Rootsweb systems have their rules and regulations.  One
thing you cannot do on Rootsweb is attach a file so others can look at it.
If Portuguese is not your native language, that makes it really hard to
figure out those records.  There were also other problems as well.  Eloise
Cadinha asked me to start another list.  I contacted some genealogy admins
on Yahoo Groups and Google Groups and went with Google.  Eloise was the
first member and I was the 2nd! (She must be a quick typist)!

I'm sure person 1000 is wondering what they've started!  I just thought
1000 was a neat number and realized our list is 7 years old, so I posted
the milestones.  Not to get kudos from all of you.  So we don't drive
person 1000 off the list, I will tell the 975 of you who have not said
anything that you are quite welcome, and let's all get back to genealogy :)

*What Cheri fails to mention is that her efforts predate the Azores List by
at least 10 years when she was the driving force behind the Portuguese
section of the AOL genealogy forum. A few of us oldtimers remember that
well. To her credit, when AOL bailed out on us Cheri went ahead and set up
Azores List, A LESSER PERSON WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP.

I got turned onto this group by Cheri herself, when I wrote an email to the 
FTDNA website she responded to me, we spkoe on the phone for over an hour 
and I learned a lot, soon after I was using this group, I had my DNA tested 
which I never thought of before. In the short time I've been a member of 
this group you have helped me find my family in Piedade, Lajes do Pico, 
Pico which made it grow by a bunch. Found out I am related to Doug da Rocha 
Homes and his father. This group and all its members are such a wealth of 
knowledge that thank you doesn't seem to be enough.
May it continue to grow, may I continue to learn and may you continue to 
teach, my best,
Mike

OK, got it. The answer is maybe.  Just like you can't put a Ford air filter
in a Toyota.  But depending on the lab, FTDNA may be able to take partial
results and then test your DNA for the rest.  And sometimes FTDNA may not
want results from a particular lab (standards issues).

As of right now, FTDNA can NOT take Ancestry's autosomal (Family Finder
results), nor do they take Ancestry's mtDNA results.  They will take SOME
of Ancestry's Y-DNA results and the customer has the option to upgrade to
37 markers.  FTDNA CAN take 23 and Me's Relative Finder Results if it was
run on their version 3 chip.  If it was on their v.2 chip, they have to
retest some of the DNA.

I really think that for people who are considering DNA testing, they should
go with Family Tree DNA (FTDNA).  They traditionally hold their Holiday
Sale in December.  They never tell us admins what goes on sale, but they
usually have some Y-DNA on sale, and lately they have been having their
Family Finder on sale as well.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Happy 7th Birthday to the Azores Genealogy List!

Yesterday marked the first anniversary of my Azorean ancestry search and 
the day that "E" Sharp adopted me!  I never would have found my info so 
quickly without her amazing help.  So thank you "E", and thanks to Cheri  
for starting this great list! Congrats on the anniversary and the 1000 
mark!  I'm still going strong and loving the discoveries.  I found a family 
I never knew existed, have met half-nieces, a half-nephew, half-cousins, a 
half-sister-in-law - so many "halves" that we don't even use that term 
anymore.  They are all so grateful - and amazed - that I found them!

This list will be 7 years old on the 27th!  The first post was on the 28th.  I 
can't believe this has been going on 7 years already!  

Today, our 1000th member signed up!  There are 1000 email addresses subscribed 
to his list now.  Seven years ago, I thought I would wind up with 300 or maybe 
350 members.  As those numbers approached, I thought maybe 500 would be it.  
I'm amazed at the number of people doing Azorean genealogy.

May the list, our web site at Azores Gen Web, and especially the spirit of

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Name of other church near Bretanha

[John Raposo]

I am a descendant of a Francisco Raposo and Maria de S. José from Bretanha. 
However, he was from Ginetes and I believe that she was from Relva. I am on 
vacation and do not have access to my genealogy materials right now. I will 
have access in about a week and will get back to you. If it is the same couple 
then we are `cousins´. The Lindo Cabrals are definitely from Bretanha. I have 
them in my data base. Before the first years of the 20th century all records 
were kept in Ajuda. After that, Remédios and Pilar were became suffragan 
parishes of Ajuda with their own set of books. Today, the Freguesia da Bretanha 
is Ajuda only. Pilar and Remédios are separate Freguesias and Paróquias. I hope 
this helps.

As I said before I been helping someone with their Cabral Lindo genealogy. I am 
not having any luck in finding them in Ajuda de Bretanha. So what is the other 
churches near there were they could be?  I can't even find my Francisco Raposa 
and Maria Sao Jose.  --
