Hi Linda,
Thanks for your help. The distinction between "found" at the house and "taken
in" is a significant one. I will check the obitos and baptismos as well.

Minho site: Feteira Francisco Jose Martins
Hi Deb,
I think the connotation of the note is that the two children were found at the
couple's house and not necessarily taken in by them. Perhaps a native speaker
could shed some light on the nuances of the meaning. Otherwise, one could
check their obits for their ages and then their baptismal records to see what
they say.
hope that helps,
:)
Linda

I have a questions about the content of a page on the University of Minho site
for Francisco Jose MARTINS (1815-?): it can be found at:
http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/ geneweb/gwd.exe?b=FETEIRA;
lang=pt;p=francisco+jose;n= martins;oc=1
I am interested in the note at the bottom:
NOTA: Foram expostas na casa deste casal, a Amélia e a Maria, filhas de pais
incógnitos e falecidas a 17 de Agosto de 1843 e a 6 de Fevereiro de 1843.
Google's translation is:
NOTE: They were exhibited in the house of this couple, Amelia and Maria,
daughters of unknown parents and deceased on August 17, 1843 and February 6,
1843.
I know that " foram expostas" doesn't mean "they were exhibited." I believe it
states they were "foundlings." Am I accurate to assume that the note is saying
that Francisco and his wife Mariana Rosa brought into to their home these two
children, who died in 1843? is there any additional significance to this note?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Best, Deb
