Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Living DNA - A new DNA company
I purchased one of their kits (for myself) at Jamboree. I read the article yesterday and it does raise concerns. However, I only want to test with them for clues on my U.K. origins which go back to 1700's. I don't plan to download data (I can do that from FTDNA). My takeaway from the article was to beware of downloading/sharing information from them and the origins data is evolving (exactly what they said at Jamboree) and to be used as clues. To be fair to them, they said repeatedly that their German data is weak at this time and they are working on improving that (Portuguese too, when I asked).

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Planning: Portuguese Genealogy Conference, Salt Lake City
My selfish whiny answer is no! I have to ask for vacation time in September for the entire following year; I don't have vacation at that time and it's unlikely I could make it. I already planned on taking Easter week next year for the conference (only allowed to ask for that week every other year) so had to forgo other vacation options Easter week this year to attend the conference next year. I don't think it's "too close" to the last one; I don't know if I can work it out to attend in August. Thank you to both you and Rosemarie for all the planning and work you put into the conferences; it is really appreciated! On a brighter note, I'm off to the FHL and RootsTech on Monday. And I was planning on seeing you at SCGS Jamboree.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] St Joseph's Church,. C;arksburg, Yolo County, California
I also have family that was active in that church and it is nearly impossible to get a look at records because they are "private". After much persistence & groveling in person, I was allowed to view an index of baptisms and found my grandmother and her siblings. I had been told there were no records for the family. The county record of my great grandparents' marriage states they were married at the church with the accurate name of the priest at that time but the church repeatedly tells me they have no record of the marriage. Why are they being so secretive & difficult?
