Sorry, Becky, I misspoke. The free autosomal transfer came through on the kit registered to your email on Feb. 15th. The mtDNA is due in a couple of weeks. MtDNA takes longer than autosomal. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das

We solved a recent 100% Portuguese adoptee's search with my theory, so it just proves it! Her closest match was a 2nd cousin. :-) In addition, the Excel Spreadsheet clearly demonstrates the predicted relationships, v. the actual relationships, complete with cmg and seg amounts for those with

Yeah, and I have another adoptee where endogamy is impacting the close matches. We can't prove all families off of one. We need many people to test and we need to look to see how endogamy (and how much endogamy) impacts the various families that have tested thus far. We need more people to DNA

P.S. One ot the tricks to reducing the impact of endogamy in adoption searches is to focus on the matches that are 1/2 are 1/4 Portuguese this greatly reduces the impact! :-) I am VERY excited about this new relationship we have discovered. now we need to find them! On Thu, Apr 28, 2016

Cheri, I am working with a dna guru on this and we have triangulated 10 dna matches to this couple. The strongest match shares 160 seg on one side, and a 61 cmg match on the other, along with 8 others. This is a sure thing. I am attaching a chart for you I have created regarding known Azorean

Laura, Just beware because of our endogomy issue (intermarriage), what looks like an 2rd-3rd cousin may be more like 3rd-4th cousin. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 8:55 AM, Joanne

Hello cousin! what little I have I can gladly share but I have more ancestry than descendants for that branch of the family tree. It seems we are related through Manuel Medeiros Grota & Maria Francesca Moura - he is the brother of my 2x great grandfather Antonio de Medeiros. I have very little
