Cheri, Thanks for the reply. In checking the results, it lists in the 2nd column Y-DNA 12 but I was under the impression she had ordered 37 so I am not sure if anymore matches from her dad will be forthcoming although she states there are more coming? She did send to me and 2 others we

Hi Elaine, I just verified with FTDNA...that 2nd column will display how far out they have tested, not what was ordered. So your new match has the first 12 markers in, but you think they ordered 37. The 2nd column will say Y-DNA 12 because their test is in progress. When the 25 comes in, the

Hi Nancy. It appears that we are related. My Great Uncle was Cardinal Jose da Costa Nunes. I can send you a link of an old 8mm film of him with my parents filmed in the 50s. I met him and spent a couple of weeks with him in the 70s before he died. How exactly are you related? Frank Nunes

My greatgrandfather went to Hawaii in 1882. I have the ship, names, etc. for the voyage over. He and family returned to Azores around 1890. Are there any manifests readily available for ships traveling Hawaii to Azores? There is a child who died at sea on the return voyage and I'd like to
