Linda,
Also do the Family Finder test on different sides of your family to help eliminate or exclude matches wherever possible.
For example, if I match someone that my father doesn't match, then I know it comes from my mother's side.
Use that strategy for your ancestors on all sides. Get cousins tested that represent various parts of your tree. I am talking about the Family Finder test strategies.
I'm glad you'll be able to do the mt-DNA test on someone who is her direct maternal descendant.
And remember, probably most expostos did know their real parents, so being raised by an aunt is certainly possible. Look at the godparents of the one you think is your ancestor once those records are online and you might be looking at her true blood relatives.
Good luck.
