Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA Testing Companies: An analogy

 

(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and IslandRoutes lists)

Here are some department stores in America. Some may be in Canada too:
Inline image 1Inline image 2Inline image 3

Let's say you find a pair of Levi's (jeans) on sale at Sears. You have a 
question, but you see no available clerk at Sears. So you set the jeans down 
and go to Macy's to ask the clerk there about the sale on the Levi's jeans at 
Sears. 

The above scenario is ridiculous and you know that a clerk in one store cannot 
answer a question about a sale at another store, even if they all sell Levi's 
jeans.

Now, let's say you have walked into a thrift store. They sell donated clothes 
that others have purchased from many department stores such as Sears, J.C. 
Penney's and Macy's. You spot your favorite shirt that you ruined 5 years ago. 
It's just like the one you bought at J.C. Penney's. But you have a question. 
Since you recognize the brand as one that is sold exclusively at Penney's, you 
drive over to Penney's to ask the clerk a question about your favorite shirt 
that you bought 5 years ago and ruined.

And you all know that's completely ridiculous too.

The example above is fairly easy to understand since they involve actual 
brick-and-mortar stores that have familiarity to at least the American list 
readers.

Now let's switch gears. We have DNA testing companies (who have an Internet 
presence). The main 3 players currently are:
Inline image 4Inline image 5Inline image 6

These three companies, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), AncestryDNA, and 23 and Me, all 
sell DNA tests, just like Sears, Penney's, and Macy's sell Levi's jeans. 

Out of the 3 DNA testing companies, one has many "store clerks" and the other 2 
stores you can't find a clerk in sight. FTDNA has many "store clerks" called 
administrators (or admins, for short). They are there to answer questions about 
the DNA tests you purchased at FTDNA. If you purchased a DNA test at 
AncestryDNA, don't ask your FTDNA admin a question about it. Or about 23 and 
Me. That's like seeing the Levi's in Sears but going over to Macy's to ask the 
clerk a question.

Also, you can take your DNA to the thrift shop. This is a web site called 
GedMatch. You can download your raw data from any of the big 3 testing 
companies and put it on GedMatch. Just like you can purchase clothes from 
Sears, Penney's or Macy's and donate them to a thrift store. But you are not 
going to find something at the thrift store and drive back to Macy's to ask a 
question. So if you upload at GedMatch, don't expect your FTDNA admin to help 
you with GedMatch questions and problems.

The Azores, Madeira (and other Portuguese based projects) were founded 12 years 
ago on Family Tree DNA. I'm a Family Tree DNA admin. I'm a volunteer. I spend 
anywhere from 10 to maybe 20 hours a week helping people. You don't publicly 
see this, as I am helping one individual at a time with their own personal 
results. That individual tested with FTDNA. So if you want to test with another 
testing company, that's fine. Don't expect the FTDNA admin to help you with 
your results. That's like seeing the Levi's on sale at Sears and asking the 
Macy's clerk for help. It's the same for GedMatch as well.

Luckily, FTDNA can accept DNA results from AncestryDNA and 23 and Me. So if you 
want help from an FTDNA admin, transfer your results over to FTDNA.

 

Now we all know that many store clerks are part time workers and some work at 
more than one store. Some FTDNA admins have tested at other companies and are 
willing to help with those results. Most do not. For those that do, many do 
charge a consultant fee, as it is beyond the scope of what they do as a 
volunteer admin with FTDNA. They are acting as a consultant across companies 
and not solely as a volunteer admin with FTDNA.

 

Hope this analogy clears up some confusion.

along with her parents, Francisco and Mary Coelho, and settling in Providence,

I need help understanding.  I see people asking for help translating a record.  
What are they looking at and is everyone looking at the same thing?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado Lineage

2012-06-26 Thread Rich K
New to the list, and was wondering if anyone could provide some help.

Sadly, I have no real knowlege of my family tree, and now in my mid-30s it 
would be nice to know where I came from.  My father and mother know little 
about their heritage, and it was by happenstance alone I found a small 
glint of information.  A while ago I stumbled across an article 
(http://library.csustan.edu/bsantos/sketch1.html), while searching for my 
late grandfather's phone number (now my parent's).  The article states;

Rufus' mother, Rose Furtado, was born on January 25, 1881 in Sunol, 
California. Her parents were Jose Silveira Furtado and Maria Furtado who 
were both from Faial, Azores Islands. She attended local schools and could 
read and speak both Portuguese and English. Confusion enters at this point 
as to the surnames used by Rose's six brothers and two sisters. Some took 
the last name Kelby and some used Santos. The family tells the story of the 
great grandfather being a cook on a sailing vessel and who had red hair. It 
is assumed that he was a Kelby (Irish) or took on the name Kelby; 
therefore, those in Rose's family who felt Irish used the Irish Kelby

Rose's brothers and sisters were: Rosalinda Santos who married William 
Quaresma and were owners of a Portuguese language Sacramento newspaper with 
the name Imparcial; Mary who married Joe Avilar; Manuel; Samuel Solsteen 
Kelby whose wife was Audrey and lived in Dunsmuir, California; John Kelby 
whose wife was Emily; Frank Santos; Henry Kelby who married four times; and 
Joe Santos. 

As it turns out, I am a Kelby.  I discussed this with my father, and found 
that he knew little beyond the fact that Samuel Solsteen and Audrey were 
his fraternal grand-parents.

I was wondering if someone could provide me with any information about Jose 
Silveira Furtado and Maria Furtado from Faial; birth dates, immigration 
dates, port of entry, anything.  

Thank you!

Richard Kelby II

Let me know if you have any possible connections.  All live/deceased
in Rhode Island.  Are you my relative?  Some name Mariano Rodrigues
married to Margaret Marshall.  Louis Silva married to Angelina
Bettencourt.  All came from Azores except Margaret who was born in USA.
