That seems to be what's happening to me on my mother's side (not Portuguese). I have a lot of matches, but almost nobody has done any research. And if the 200 year mark is not really that valid for other areas, maybe they will need to revise it to 300-400 years for other countries, too. I look at m

Does he match anyone with Portuguese ancestry?It's no surprise there is a shortage of matches, since testing on someone 75 or older would show more matches, in general, if they have a higher percentage of pure Portuguese DNA.In fact, I was surprised that of the four latest matches for my father, I
