He was registered as #1612, born/baptized 1878. It is likely a dead end. Had either parent come forward, their names would have appeared in Jacinto's marriage record or in the baptismal records of Jacinto's children. I wonder if Gordon has checked the children's birth and marriage records?
Sometimes, as in the case of one of my foundling ancestors, the parentage is an open secret. Everybody knows but nobody makes a formal declaration. The details are murky. In the case of my foundling ancestor, born in 1820, it took a hundred years before the issue began to appear in print and almost another 50 years before the whole matter was exposed in a book. Needless to say, her father was the village squire and prominent in society and in politics. Her mother had been a servant in her lover's father's house.

Am I at a dead end in finding anything more about Jesse (Jacinto) and his real parents? Elsewhere I have information that he was placed on the wheel at 8 am and adopted by Ana De Jesus and Joao Ferreira at 10 am.
