I believe in John P. Coletta's "They Came in Ships," he says to check not only the port you believe your ancestor arrived at (New Bedford in this case) but New York (called Castle Garden until 1892 when it became Ellis Island). The ship may have sailed into NY first and the captain could have every

Eddie: Any more information on your GG Grandfather would be helpful. If he arrived in 1884, perhaps +/- a few years, he should appear in the 1900 census, also perhaps 1920-30 depending on his age. These other census years may indicate a different year of immigrating. Do you know for certain that

(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and IslandRoutes) Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) has reduced their Y-DNA 12 marker test from $99 USD down to $39 USD (plus $4 shipping in the US and $6 everywhere else). Rumor has it that this may be their permanent price. But right now, it's advertised as a special.

Hi Cindy, The Autosomal test is a good place to start. You did not indicate if your grandfather was still alive but if he is then to get a 100% Azorean result then he should take the test. The thing is to test the oldest generation that way your results will be further back when you do an a
