Description

The Azores Islands Geographical DNA Project welcomes all male and female descendants whose ancestors ORIGINATED in the Azores. IF YOUR ANCESTOR DID NOT ORIGINATE IN THE AZORES OR IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PAPER TRAIL TO THE AZORES, CONTACT ONE OF THE LIST ADMINISTRATORS BEFORE JOINING THE PROJECT. The Azores project may be able to overcome some of our genealogical brick walls and the changing of the surname every few generations, as well as making new connections with cousins. Our focus is genealogy. We accept Y-DNA from males with an Azorean Y chromosome, mtDNA from anyone with an Azorean mtDNA line, and Family Finder results (your Azorean ancestor is any where in your tree). The Administrator settings must be set to at least Limited to participate in a group project. NOTE: Some surnames listed above also have Spanish and English origins, as well as some Anglicized spellings. Locating your name above does not necessarily indicate that your ancestors came from the Azores. Also, the list does NOT contain every known Azorean surname. Please contact one of the administrators if yours is missing.

O Projeto Geográfico de DNA Ilhas dos Açores recebe toda a linha irigir macho e dedescendentes femininos de herança açoriana.
Tem um pai incógnito? Seus antepassados açorianos mudaram seu sobrenome cada poucas gerações? Receba após estas tijolo-paredes com o Projeto de DNA das Ilhas dos Açores!

Requirements

A Geographic Project connects individuals who believe their direct line comes from a specific location. The Dual Geographic Projects are for individuals who order an mtDNA or Y-DNA test. Either their direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother's...) or direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) originates from this area.

  • For men only.
  • Highest level of Y-DNA tests.
  • 111-marker matches are highly likely to be related within the past 4 generations.*
  • Provides genealogically relevant matches and recent ancestral origins.
  • Recommended for confirming a genealogical relationship with another male.
  • Provides your Haplogroup: deep ancestral origin of the paternal line.
  • We store your DNA for free so that you can upgrade the tests in the future
  • NO subscription fees
Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. With the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest chance of finding close relatives by testing with us. However, if your paternal line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information right away. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

*Estimated for exact 111 marker matches, at a 95% confidence level.

  • For men or women.
  • Autosomal DNA test.***
  • Matches are related within about the last 5 generations.*
  • Provides percentages of your ancestral make-up (Native-American, Middle Eastern (including Jewish), African, West and East European)**
  • Recommended for genealogists.
  • Includes matches with predicted relationship ranges.
  • Great for confirming close relationships regardless of gender.****
* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about new close matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.

*** Family Finder has a test specific policy for failed samples and retesting. Please read the policy carefully.

****Please note, Family Finder does not provide Y-DNA or mtDNA haplogroup information.
