I have researched almost every villiage in Terceira, I have seen a lot of expoto/a's including my grandfather. In the obits in Angra there are pages of them also mixed with other obits. Helen

Regarding the Candida name, I looked through the baptisms for your exposto "Gaspar"....there are many, many women with the candida name.....I think it's one of those names just used over and over, from generation to generation among daughters, cousins et. Similar to my line of ancestors on Pico that used "Felizarda de Castro" for many generations....sometimes 4 sisters would have a first name followed by F de C....two other things that I noticed in those Teceira baptismal records that I searched for you....( I looked from 1861 back to about 1845)....there were so many female babies named "Gertrudes" during those years that it was weird! One page had 6 or so baptisms, all girls and all named Gertrudes.....I wonder "who" inspired that name for so many years? The other strange thing was that in the Sao Jorge records the "exposto/a" baptisms are mixed in with the others....in the years that I looked for "Gaspar the exposto" in Terceira there were NO "exposto/a's"....I find it hard to believe there weren't any...has anyone else noticed this in Teceira or know if they kept a "separate set of books" for those baptisms? I never saw one Gaspar.....ligitimate or otherwise in those years.

Grandfather of the baby that is. So, it would make Joao and Matilde the Uncle and Aunt of the baby right? :) Thanks!!!
