Hello! This is my first time posting, but I have frequently used the information here for my own family genealogy research. Family history states that my 3rd-great-grandmother, Quiteria (Gertrude) Thomazia Souza (b 1858) was "adopted" and that one of her parents was a foreigner (the rumor was that her father had a child with a French woman). I have done the parish search and was excited to find the marriage certificate and her baptism record from Matriz both seem to confirm that her parentage is unknown. Below is her baptism record, and my Portuguese isn't good enough to fully translate it. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-MATRIZ-B-1854-1860/FAL-HT-MATRIZ-B-1854-1860_item1/P139.html
My dad did the Ancestry DNA test and it confirms he has a lot of English ancestry-so maybe the foreigner was from England? Your help is greatly appreciated!
