[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: [Madeira] DNA: How much of your ancestors is in you?

Hardly, Miguel. It's not what you see on TV or the commercials (in America). DNA is just another tool in the genealogist's tool box. Many genealogy societies have DNA Interest Groups. You should see if your local society has one and attend. Genealogy conferences have lots and lots of DNA

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] "The Wheel"

Duh, yes, it says the year was 1878. That's the 3rd time period. You can get grandparents. I think it was Herb who traced all the children and grandchilren of his pai incognito. And it popped up. Yes, it's unusual for it to happen, but you don't know until you look. Since the birth was 1878, DNA

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] "The Wheel"

He was registered as #1612, born/baptized 1878. It is likely a dead end. Had either parent come forward, their names would have appeared in Jacinto's marriage record or in the baptismal records of Jacinto's children. I wonder if Gordon has checked the children's birth and marriage records?

(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and Island Routes lists) Today, Roberta Estes wrote about how much DNA we have from our ancestors and why our siblings have different amounts. She explains why it's good to test siblings as well. It's a great article, and pretty short too! https://goo.gl/NBBpXv

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] History of Azorean Surames Resources

I've never heard that Jácome translates to Jacob. My line ends in the Sao Pedro church of Santa Maria island with a Manuel Jácome m. to Guimar Velha. They are having kids in the 1670s and 1680s. So they married before that. Sometime in the 1680s they moved to Vila Franca do Campo and continue

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] History of Azorean Surames Resources
