Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree And Portuguese Ancestry ..YDNA
Quick question. Is there a Y group of Portuguese descendants? With the price about half now of what I paid on another line, I thought it worth another inquiry.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Joao Moreira b. 1868, Sao Miguel island
My mother is there. Beth B215273 B. Coones We are in all databases. I thought I was part of the project and that’s why I have the emails. It lists her in Azores Island and Iberian Peninsula projects. I will research and see if I missed something. Thanks for your assistance! Her maternal Aunt is Betty Bolin B215273 and I use this to try to filter for paternal only.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Joao Moreira from Sao Miguel island, late 1800s
Thanks for asking my mother’s Name in all these places is Beth or Mary Beth, either Phelan(the name she was born with) or Coones, married name. Her father was a secret lover. About 75 percent chance René Morin or 25 percent his brother John Joseph. She shows up in the Portuguese genetic communities and the ones to Hawaii.
