The Basques are from the region bordering France Span and Portugal. So having Basque in your DNA is possible. I would think there are studies that have been done which shows blood types and what determines the type we are. Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, New Hampshire, USA Researchi

Thanks Rosemarie I did check them out. Unfortunately, I didn't find any of my people. Of course I don't have a lot on my Medeiros line yet because I've been concentrating on my Fernandes line in Sao Miguel. But when I finally focus on that line, I will definitely check back there again. Jacki

Lisa, I can¹t speak to overall statistics. But, my entire family are all Rh Neg. However, my mom was Italian with a drop of English, Scottish, and Irish for good measure. My dad though was 100% Portuguese. Gayle -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups

Hello Henrietta,   Your book does it suggest all da Silva's are related?  Or is it just ones that came from a certain Island in the Azores?  I have not seen your book yet.  Would it be something I should read because my Grandfather was a da Silva?    Thank you, Vivian (Silva) Christy --- On Sat

David, >From my understanding, Flores had more damage (natural disasters and pirates) and therefore many books no longer exist. I only know of one case where the priest somewhere on Sao Miguel held onto one book only and did not turn it over to the government in 1910 (or whatever year that was).

Lisa, You may have to go to a university and look up studies in the library there as your DNA question is going beyond that of the typical DNA used for genealogical purposes. Katherine Borges may also know where to locate these medical type studies. Her email is kvjjmmborges at msn.com Cheri Mel

Lisa, Rather than a lengthy explanation here, I found a link for you that has a really great explanation of how the +/- RH factor works. Besides, it's been a long time since I studied this in school. http://www.health

To all, The chart that Jackie found seems to confirm what the doctor once told me about Americans, that the Rh Neg factor shows up in about 15 % of the population. I¹m curious as to the figures for Portugal as to whether it is restricted to the mainland or includes all the islands (Azores, Madeira
