Abstract excerpt

In order to obtain a better understanding of the genetic structure of the Azorean population, a specificity and spatial distribution analysis was performed, based on 2,454 different surnames present in the Azorean telephone directory (2002). We considered as specific surnames those with an absolute frequency ratio equal to or higher than 50%. The results revealed 51 specific surnames in the whole archipelago. The...
