Karen L,

Log into your 23andMe account and go to your account settings to see if you
are on v.3 or v4 of their chip. If you are, you can transfer to
FamilyTreeDNA as well. Here are some directions with pictures:
https://dna-explained.com/2018/08/28/family-tree-dna-step-by-step-guide-how-to-upload-download-dna-files/

About 20% of users from each company upload to GedMatch. So if you want to
compare with other companies, you need to test there, or transfer to those
who accept the 23 and Me transfers. Testing with more companies is like
fishing for cousins in more ponds!

On Pico, you will find Leals in Ribeirinha, but the birth records likely 
say Piedade because the priest did the record-keeping in Piedade. 
Ribeirinha because its own town separate from Piedade in the 1950s.

There are also Leals from Ribeirahs (Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara).

There may be Leals in São Mateus, also.

After a lifetime of thinking my Leal family originated on Faial, I 
discovered I have several genetic matches with descendants of Leals from 
Pico. I haven't made the connection yet, as it is most likely about 6 
generations ago.

Have you submitted your DNA for analysis? Uploaded to GEDmatch? If you 
have, mine is there and we might find some matches. Could be interesting. 
My number is F196772.
