Upgrading Arline (Azevedo) Silveira, deceased to mtDNA Full Sequence

[Cheri Mello]

Arline (Azevedo) Silveira, was a genealogy researcher and a member of this list. She assisted with the research of others and helped many people.

She did the Family Finder DNA test, but passed away before doing the mtDNA Full Sequence test. So in her honor, I'd like to have her mtDNA tested.

The Azores DNA Project has a General Fund with a little bit of money that people have contributed to in the past. I will have the General Fund donate $50 to Arline's mtDNA test. That leaves a balance of $109. I'd like to raise the rest of the funds so we can get her tested during this current sale.

If you'd like to help out, go here:

www.familytreedna.com/group-general-fund-contribution.aspx?g=AzoresIslands I believe the Azores Islands project is already chosen. Just fill in whatever you would like to donate, the donation type (pick Memory of), Donor name (yours or you can just type Anonymous if you prefer), and in the note field, put Arline so I know that it's for her. You can pay in a variety of ways. The screen should look like this: When we reach $109, I will let the list know. General donations are welcome as well. Thank you, Cheri Mello, Azores DNA Project Admin (volunteer)

Thank you to everyone who donated for an mtDNA test for Arline. We have met our goal and her order will be placed. I'm sure she would have been happy to see so many caring people!

Thank you once again!
