By 1872 he was among the first 1,700 registered voters of Portuguese descent in California, mining in Rough and Ready in Nevada County. He went by the name John Geniella, which is another story in itself. Unfortunately I can find no immigration, passport or any other records that could help tell this part of his story.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: DNA Testing Companies and Types of DNA tests (for genealogy)
Cheri, Thanks for you call, and the explanation below. Good stuff. I think I get it. Let me know how the inquiry to Family Tree comes out. Best, Mike On May 19, 2:49 pm, Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com wrote: Just so everyone is clear (and this can be confusing), I'll outline a little of this below. SOME DNA Testing companies (my list is not comprehensive). 1) Ancestry.com 2) Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) They are not the same. They different companies, just as much as buying a Sony TV is different than buying a TV made by Sharp. Two different companies. 1) Ancestry.com offers Y-DNA testing (for men - the father's father's father's line - strictly the male line, all men, all the way back). I think the most markers they test for is 46. They also offer mtDNA testing for either men or women. This traces the mother's mother's mother's line - strictly the female line, all women, all the way back). I don't remember off the top of my head if they test both mtDNA regions or only 1. Therefore, Ancestry offers Y DNA testing and mtDNA testing. Two types of tests. 2) FTDNA offers Y-DNA testing. They are now up to a 111 marker test (that's only been out a couple of months now). FTDNA also offers mtDNA testing. They test for both regions (called HyperVariable Region 1 and 2 or HVR1 and HVR2) as well as the Full Genomic Sequence (FGS) which is the entire 16,000+ mitochondrial molecule. Last year, FTDNA began offering a new type of test that they named Family Finder. This is the autosomal testing that has been mentioned in another thread (topic). It tests the mixture of your 22 pairs of chromosomes that can cover your pedigree back to at least the testee's 2 great-grandparents. Therefore, FTDNA offers Y DNA testing, mtDNA testing, and autosomal (Family Finder) DNA testing. Three types of tests. Why I like FTDNA (and why the Azores DNA project is housed there). 1) They are the first and the largest DNA testing company. Being big is important in the DNA world. It means more people to compare your DNA test against and more chances to find matches and new cousins. 2) They deal exclusively with genealogists. That's their focus - genealogy and family history. Yes, you can find other DNA companies that will do some family testing, but that's not really their focus. It's kind of like a side thing. 3) They deal exclusively with DNA. That's their only product. I've got an Ancestry subscription and I've called Ancestry to ask them about their DNA (on more than one occasion too). They always have to check my subscription and then try to upgrade me. It feels as if they didn't listen to my question about DNA. They'd rather sell me something else. 4) FTDNA has a complete advisory board and adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a government agency (I assume American government). They've even helped contribute and refine some standards. 5) They store your DNA for 25 years if you would like further testing. 6) They have wonderful administrator tools that allows me and the co-administrators to help you manage your DNA. If you tested with Ancestry.com or another testing company, FTDNA will offer special pricing to convert you over (you can't repair your Sony TV by putting in a part from Sharp).http://goo.gl/Jul1o Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Thank you, Chris, for your very informative response. On Mar 18, 11:45 pm, Chris Macedo gandc...@bigpond.com wrote: I can answer your questions generally . The ABO blood groups and the Rh (D) blood groups are not connected. They are the most common of the blood groups tested because they cause the biggest transfusion reactions. Roughly 47% of Caucasians are Group O 41% of Caucasians are Group A 09% Group B 03% Group AB The Rh group derive their name from the Rhesus monkey in which they were first found. When we say Rh Negative that is only part of the story. I.e only the D out of CDE are tested for. When you are tokd you are Rh negative you are Rh (D) Negative. This is understood by all persons working with blood groups. Roughly 75% of Caucasians are Rh (D) Positive 25% are Rh (D) Negative There were no Rh Negatives among Asian, Polynesian or Mealaneaian populations but we ALWAYS tested these people in case they were of mixed blood and did not know it. I think from the dim recesses of my mind I remember the Basques having a higher percentage of Rh (D) negatives. Unless a person was D negative we did not test the whole Allele of which there are many combinations e.g cdE/cde. Apart from transfusion treatment the main danger of antibody formation in negative women during pregnancy has been overcome by the ability of doctors now to give an antiserun which blocks the troublesome antigens thus preventing antibody formation and eliminating the dreadful Rh disease of pregnancy we used to see. Wether there is a higher incidence of Rh negatives among Azoreans I do not know. Certainly my own daughter is B Rh Negative. this is very quick and i hope it is of some use.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not got; but there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No Heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take Heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see; and to see, we have only to look. I beseech you to look. Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the Angel's hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty: believe me, that angel's hand is there; the gift is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing Presence. Our joys, too: be not content with them as joys, they too conceal diviner gifts. Life is so full of meaning and of purpose, so full of beauty—beneath its covering—that you will find that earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage, then to claim it: that is all! But courage you have; and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending through unknown country, home. And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you; not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem, and with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Faja do Santo Christo
It saddened me to read Nancy Jean Baptiste's account of her stay at what my family found to be one of the most intriguing places we've ever visited. When we spent the month of May on Sao Jorge, there were few visitors to the faja, and the trashy environment non-existent during our mid-week treks. We did hear summer brings a steady stream of visitors, and party goers, a disturbing thought that Nancy Jean's experiences seem to confirm. Sao Jorge is home to my Azorean ancestors, and I may be biased. But we found the island to be refreshingly natural, clean and hugely welcoming. We had the privilege of staying in a wonderful roomy house on a hillside overlooking Velas, the Atlantic and the volcano looming on Pico beyond. I can put anyone interested in contact with the owner.

Good morning, My family and I will be in Velas/ Sao Jorge for month of May. Would love any tips. Would also relish the possibility of meeting anyone who might be there during same period. Thanks!

We can go either in April or early May. I have to be home Apr. 24/25 for Wine Festival in SLO, granddaughter is involved in this, and grandson's first communion at Carmel Mission in Monterey and also have to be home by May 15 so I am looking at April 1-22 or April 27-May 15. We will be travelling to other areas of Europe on this trip so maybe 8 days in the Azores? What is the best time to go? We have been to Europe before in Sep., Oct., Nov. and Feb., June and lucked out each time with great weather. But never having gone to the Azores before, we are wondering if we should plan on the early April trip or May trip. I need to make my plane reservations for this soon. Thanks.

I went to Beira, Sao Jorge this summer and took pictures of the town and church for my Mom because my ggrandfather Jose Pereira was from there as was my other ggrandfather Jose Victorino Bettincourt. I haven't found their baptismal records yet but anxiously wait for the Velas records to come on line. I found Beira to be a beautiful village and the people very gracious.
