Eddie, as Cheri always says, it’s probably better to have your Dad do the FF
because he is 100% even though his Mom is from Madeira. You could also have
Dad’s Ydna done too.

Sorry Rosemarie,
Thanks for the update. It's been months since I've been able to look at
them and when I first saw it, they started to digitize A União Lusitana
Hawaiiana. Now, a whole lot more!

Eddie M,
For Family Finder:
If you have access to your parents (or even your grandparents) test the
older generation first. If your parents (or grands) are not alive but
their siblings are alive, test them.
If it's just you and dad, test your dad and yourself. Then you can filter
your matches

Hi Bill,
Do you know that the entire parish of Cedors has an index that's available
online: http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/geneweb/gwd.exe?b=CEDROS;lang=pt
Between that and the online records in the CCA, there might not be much to
gain from consulting that book. Although the researchers are

We met at the L-AGS meeting last month. I have a number of ancestors who
were born in or lived in Cedros in the 17th and 18th century. Many migrated
to Feteira from Cedros in the late 1600's and early 1700's. If you have a
list of names, I can check to see if any match and send you what

Hi everyone,
I'm brand new to the group and I'm hoping that someone can help me track
down information about some ancestors. My great-great grandfather, Frank
Rose Bravo, was born in the Azores Islands in about 1858 or 1859. He came
to the US in (I think) about 1878, moved to California, and

At the risk of looking silly because this may have been discussed in the

Yes, you have to train your eye.
The names are capitalized and never written lower case. For the time
period you are researching, you will want to get all the siblings as well.
It will help build your tree and connect to other researchers and it will
help train your eye. If you are

Hi Courtney,I've been so busy lately with other research that I didn't mention to you that I found we are distantly related by the ESTEVES name. So when will you get your Esteves relatives tested with the Family Finder test? It would be fun to see if we both have any Esteves DNA now.Doug da Rocha
I thought I would add my experience. I learned Portuguese at the age of 40.
I still lack the confidence to converse and lack the opportunity but I can
read it well. That is, newspapers, Internet articles.
The written documents were another thing! Just jump in, as has been
