Hi Lynn,
It sounds like your maternal grandmother had Azorean DNA and the little
"mystery" Jewish DNA is likely from the Azores as well. All my ancestry is
from the Azores and have a significant amount of it. Your matches from the
Azores what islands are they primarily from? Also what state
Check the newspapers at the local to which she was traveling. Sometimes they
would tell who arrived on the train. Do you know where in California? Some
locations had newspapers in Portuguese. Good luck!

Sam , I see one error, due to the machine translation of the place known as
"Lagos" on the Island of Santa Maria; as for your unknown word,
"[ceareiro],"
it may refer to where Jose Soares de Figueiredo was born - the Brazilian
state of Ceara.
As for your other question - "did they transpose name
thanks Cheri. I'll give it another try

Another possibility might be Pinheiro (which means "pine tree" in
Portuguese). When I grew up in Fresno there was a local undertaker Art Pine
who did a lot of business with the Portuguese community and his real last
name was "Pinheiro"

As far I know, all Roiz are short for Rodrigues. Be careful though, because

I think I've received 4 or 5 emails this weekend asking for help with DNA.
We can NOT help if you are NOT part of the project. It doesn't matter if
your DNA has been sent in, or is at the lab being processed, or is sitting
on someone's kitchen table waiting to be swabbed. Many things can come up
I believe the proper Portuguese spelling is Ponte, but it does sound
somewhat like Pont.

Hello All,
So I've been searching for my daughters grandmother under the wrong name.
But I need help now with the correct name.
I was just told that it was not Pine but Pont. That's all I was told.
They had no idea how to spell it. So would it be Pont or Ponte? Any
suggestions at all.

Um, what can you read and not read? We really don't want to burn out the
translators here when all you may need is the date or the mother or
something. Please advise as to what part you can't read.

You really should join the Azores DNA project so us admins can answer your
questions. We can see your DNA page and would have a better idea of what

Hi.
My DNA testing has led me to many matches with people with ancestors from
the Azores. It is likely that my maternal grandmother was adopted, so I
think that she might be the missing link.
On the other hand, I am 1/2 Armenian on my dad's side of the family, but my

I think you're right about #1 where the grandparents' names are in the

And I can never read the side margines. Ever. I can see some names,
dates, but that's about it. And the word faleceu, died.
Also, it's "of the feminine sex", you had a typo - fermium.
That was great translation
