[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: PACHECO in New England, 1900-1920
Hi Betty, there is a Joao J. Pacheco buried in a family plot for my GGrandparents and son in what was called St. John the Baptist cemetery. This Joao J. Pacheco died and was buried in November 1918 in S. Dartmouth, Ma, the information has him listed at 90yrs of age. He is no relation to my family or to Doug da Rocha Holmes who has a relative buried in plot #1 of this 6 plot site. Maybe someone will recognize his name. Mike On Friday, November 1, 2013 9:34:29 AM UTC-4, Betty wrote: Hello, This week I happened to mention the PACHECO name on the Maine (US) List, and someone responded. The researcher said she had an old picture of a ... Private Manny PACHECO .. from 1917. At the time he was at a military field on Long Island, NY. She had no other information on the soldier, and she wondered whether he could have been related to my husband's paternal grandfather. I dug out an old picture of my husband's father and uncle when they were first married, and I see somewhat of a resemblance. As I've mentioned many times before, my husband grew up with his grandmother (Mrs. Pacheco) telling all her grandchildren many things about her late husband. And, I've discovered most of them were not true.So, after researching and posting queries, I don't believe I ever found out .exactly. when Antonio PACHECO arrived in MA (US). He arrived ~1905 as a 20-yr-old from Sao Miguel(From just outside of Ponta Delgada) So, I don't know who he traveled with, and I don't know who he came to stay with. (There were too many Antonio's arriving around that time.) Several yrs. ago I heard from another researcher that one of the other PACHECO families in Cambridge, MA, were related to Tony as they came from the same village (Sao Roque).Grandma always tolder her grandchildren her late husband had no relatives in New England. But, I believe he did have relatives here, maybe not with the same last name. I checked census records earlier this morning and there were at least a dozen Manuel Pacheco's in New England in that 1900-1920 timeframe.And, several were men in their 20's. The problem with the soldier in 1917 is that he probably fought in WW I.And, it would take some research to find out if he survived the War.So, he might not have been in the 1920 census. That's all I'll say for now. Have a pleasant weekend ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. Tony and Elsie had 5 surviving children, and their oldest daughter passed last month.Their other daughter is in a nursing home, and only their youngest son is still doing OK.(Tony is the one who was killed in a car accident in 1928, and their were 4 other, Portuguese men from Cambridge in the car with him. I don't know how many survived that.)(Think about a 1920-era car in MA/US.) -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

Those were the samples that were in population sample at the time they started running the ethnicities. And that was 3 or more years ago. A lot has changed since then.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Dna results
My father's came up as 93% Spanish.Mine is 97% French.Since my mother is 50% German, about 25% Hungarian and 25% Slovak, I suppose when mixed with my father's Spanish, that equals French. Interesting math: Spanish + German/Hungarian/Slovak = French.What it might be saying is that the Germans are lumped in with French.And I suppose an English or Irish person would also be listed as Orkney. Anyone know?It would also seem that my Population Finder percentages should be more like 40% Spanish, 25% French (if the Germans are lumped with French), and maybe 23% Orkney (if Slovaks and Hungarians are lumped with Orkney), to equal my 97% Western European. And that designation alone is also in question, now that my wife's test is back - Slovakia and Hungary are not in Western Europe. They are in central. If someone from Moscow tested, would they be Eastern European? I don't believe they have Central European so they are lumped with western.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Dna results
Doug, I'm unable to have access to my admin page. But if you log in and go to Family Finder and look for the FAQs, you will see What reference populations are used? It's about question 3 or 4.

Since my mother is 50% German, about 25% Hungarian and 25% Slovak, I suppose when mixed with my father's Spanish, that equals French. Interesting math: Spanish + German/Hungarian/Slovak = French. What it might be saying is that the Germans are lumped in with French. And I suppose an English or Irish person would also be listed as Orkney. Anyone know? It would also seem that my Population Finder percentages should be more like 40% Spanish, 25% French (if the Germans are lumped with French), and maybe 23% Orkney (if Slovaks and Hungarians are lumped with Orkney), to equal my 97% Western European. And that designation alone is also in question, now that my wife's test is back - Slovakia and Hungary are not in Western Europe. They are in central. If someone from Moscow tested, would they be Eastern European? I don't believe they have Central European so they are lumped with western. But maybe should be lumped with eastern, since we're talking about Slavs. I'll have to look for a waiter to get another drink at this cocktail party.

So Portuguese are fit into one of those 4. Until they get a wider population sample, you can kind of think of it as a cocktail party conversation piece.
