Looks like farming which started in West Africa played an important role in the dispersal of certain Mtdna Lineages throughout Africa. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC385086/ Antonio -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation)

The only matches I have presently are two HVR1 from Pico One of those also tested HVR2 and they have two more mutations than I have. As I stated my line is on Sao Miguel. While there are Test results from Sao Miguel we are too many mutations off for a recent ancestor. There are only 5

Thank you, Very interesting, This seems to address the results of the slave trade. My line is on Sao Miguel in the early 1600’s so I tend to believe they came through Portugal and Spain and would reflect Moorish occupation. Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, NH From:

However those are interesting matches even though they are only at the HVR1 level if I recall there is a 90% chance the common ancestor is within the last 1,300 years suggesting that the all 3 maternal lines are related distantly, there certainly is a good chance that all three arrived in Sao

We have used the last of the DNA on a full Sequence which is due back in a week or so. I have had only two matches in the Azores DNA Project on the low level test But neither were from the same Island. Mine came from Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel. Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, NH

There has been an academic study done looking at the maternal lineages of Macronesia(Azores,Madeira,Canary Islands and Cape Verde) I believe the average for the Azores for Mtdna with origins in Sub-Sahara Africa was 3.4%, paternal lineages with origins in Sub-Sahara Africa in the Azores are
