What does not make sense is that I have distant matches for people who are not even Portuguese. So do my relatives and they are not they same people. ? I have tried to determine where the connections are and some of these people have very complete trees and are not Portuguese. -Origi
Doug, In testing Mel that was my attempt to get just Raminho/Altares. I figured that that would isloate my maternal grandfather's side but Mel was a distant match to my double cousin who does not have lineage from Raminho. Both of his parents are from Raminho and have no Agualva connection. But
Thanks Richard, so I should continue to test first cousins just ones that are one removed. I was think of trying to test uncles but since all sides of my tree are related back about 10 generations, through the people I mentioned in the previous email, they will show up are related. Right? Doree
Thanks for the info Cheri. I had not been getting the testee trees before testing. (Some do not have complete trees for both side). I was just going on what they said then construction tree after the test for their GEDcom tree later. From now on I will get completed trees before testing. Dor
Hi Doreen,
If you test two uncles that are brother then the results will be mostly the
same.
If you test two uncles that are distant cousins the results will show closer
relationships than they actually are and there will be less matches that are
the same.

I have come to the conclusion that I am the village idiot in this group. I
cannot "get" this DNA thing.
I got very excited about reading the results of others' DNA tests and happy
cousin matches and wanted to be counted too.
Well, I spent a lot of money got autosomal (mother's father's l
Hi Cindy,If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? I only ask because that could have a major impact on what your results show. If you are 23 and have living relatives who are elderly, then you should get them tested. They will have more matches than you.Another thing, how much research have yo
When I tested my parent's DNA before Family Finder, only a couple of
possible matches from the Azores. Only after I requested the Family
Finder tests on my parent's DNA, the Azores / Portuguese matches
occurred. I try to keep in mind the Azores were settled and immigrants came
and went, all kinds

The last dates for Feteiras birth records on film are the Civil Records
1853-1882. Therefore, unless you make a trip to S. Miguel you will have to
write for the record.

you're the only one with enough humor to admit it!
Just my opinion,

Thank you so much for this information! I am so excited to have a new
avenue to explore. I will definitely write for the record.

God Bless you Cindy:
Amen!
You've said it all so poetically ! All of it !
I have been avoiding my Mothers Azores Lewis line since 1982 for the obvious
reasons.
I had my wife's brother do the SMITH Y DNA test years ago. I get reports
periodically saying a new match. When I compare t

Asking FTDNA for complete access to their database would be like me asking
you to put your Pico and Terceira databases on your website for the world
to research. We both know that's not going to happen! LOL

Doreen,
Some of those distant matches seem to be not right at all. The only thing
I can think of is that someone has the surname of Miller (or something
Anglicized) and they find something in the British Isles and their research
is wrong.

Cindy D,
DNA does have quite a learning curve. And yes, you do feel like a deer in
the headlights. I do lecturing. One of my topics is DNA. I had one
person tell me it was her 5th DNA lecture she attended and that it was
finally coming together. It's not easy. It takes awhile. Check out you
