I am looking for expert advice ... I have been tracing my ancestral roots for six months. Its a work in progress.
I have a relative who's marriage document says he is "exposto", I'm guessing that means orphaned. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SANTABARBARA-C-1844-1860/TER-AH-SANTABARBARA-C-1844-1860_item1/P71.html It appears that he might have taken her last name (Silveira) for his own ... He was Francisco Ignacio. Can someone explain about Santa Se? Was it an orphanage? Example: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SE-B-1817-1828/TER-AH-SE-B-1817-1828_item1/P12.html Were some of these children taken in by couples seeking a child? and that is what is in the left column? Any guidance would be very much appreciated. Louie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
