Yes it was, and a very similar search looking for a Portuguese/Guinea  Bissau heritage.

I would not be here if my grandmother refused to go to Australia to make a new a new life with my grandfather 9 he had lived there before the Great War met her back home in Wales during the war and returned in 1921 to marry her and return to Oz, but he decided to stay here with her and the rest is history.... 7 children, 13 grandchildren and too many great and great great children to count later.....

"born in Massachusetts but parents from Cape Verde."

The largest concentration of Portuguese immigrants in the United States is in Southeastern Massachusetts - the New Bedford and Fall River area.  A lot of them were fishermen or sailors.  That would be good area to concentrate on.

Quite emotional all round with a fantastic outcome.

A great lesson on how DNA works & what info. can be gleaned from very little & where it can lead.

Not to mention the various races involved.

The families were lovely & Carlos was such a lovely man.

DNA helped both men find their origins.

All my Grandparents were from diverse towns, that is Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lancashire and Monmouth.

Only because of the effects of WW1 were brought both pairs together, the rest is history.

Alas I have never been able to find Paternal GF’s war record yet my naturalised Canadian Maternal GF I have his full service record, it does make chilling reading as does seeing the degeneration in him in photographs we have of him at the start of the War and during the latter stages of service before his medical discharge
