Welcome to my blog - Our Cabo Verdean Family/ Nosa Familia Kabuverdiana where I discuss my Cabo Verdean family history and all things DNA and genealogy-related! What is Cabo Verdean you ask? Cabo Verdeans are an ethnic group of people from The Republic of Cabo Verde, a group of ten islands off the west coast of Africa. Cabo Verde consists of nine inhabited islands, one uninhabited island, and various islets, located between 14°30′ and 17°30′ N and between 22°30′ and 25°30′ W. The archipelago is divided into the Barlavento (Windward) group to the north and the Sotavento (Leeward) group to the south. The Barlavento Islands include Santo Antão , São Vicente , Santa Luzia (which is uninhabited), São Nicolau , Sal , and Boa Vista , together with the islets of Raso and Branco. The Sotavento Islands include Maio , Santiago , Fogo , and Brava and the three islets called the Rombos—Grande, Luís Carneiro, and Cima. ( https://www.britannica.com/place/Cabo-Verde) Here
