Hi Doug,
This is what I found so far. The passport record from Ponta Delgada to Hawaii in 1985. Leonor is listed as Leonor de Jesus pais incognitos. In 1892 Leonor married Antonio Ferreira Cherri helped me with the marriage record and it reads Leonor (unable to make out the last name) is from the Matriz, Sao Sebastiao. I found Antonio's baptism record from Feteiras in 1866. I do know Leonor was older by a few years than Antonio. I have searched almost all of the baptism records for a Leonor and the only one I found was Leonor in 1893. I know her parents were not married. Family stories say her aunt raised her. Since I am unable to read the document I can't really figure out if this is her or not.

If you think your ancestors are from Terceira, you should also get the Family Finder DNA test for additional leads as to who might be your living relatives. Interestingly, this person has one ancestor born in Brasil. To help determine whether you found the right ancestor, what information do you have that lead you to think you found the right one here? What is her full name? If you found the right ancestor, it should match to someone in the record. You mention she was abandoned and this person was not. At least, not immediately. She was not an exposta, but her parents are not married, as you probably noticed.
