Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Poor's Asylum, Matriz, Faial
This has been so interesting. I had no idea that the Catholic Church had such a well-used system for dealing with foundlings. The google translate option makes this amazing! I’m off to Joao Ventura’s Azores Workshop this weekend and it will be a big help. (Cheri, if that grandbaby arrives this weekend, I am in such trouble, lol.)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Poor's Asylum, Matriz, Faial
Hi Liz, No, the expostos (exposto - male or exposta-female) were the foundlings or abandoned babies that were left at the roda at the CHURCH. You open the small door on the church wall to place your offering (or baby) and spin it around so the baby (or offering) goes inside the church. The one I saw last summer had a door of about 18 inches high by about 12 inches wide. I didn't measure it.

Saudade064, I didn't know that the Azores had the poor asylums. I know about the American ones. What does it say for "poor asylum" on the document in the Portuguese language?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Poor's Asylum, Matriz, Faial
I was able to get a death certificate for my great-grandfather who came to California but went back to Faial, his island of birth sometime in the 1930s. In the translation of the record, I discovered he died in a place called "Poor's Asylum" in 1948, which was located in Matriz, Faial. I cannot find anything online about this place. I'd like to know it's history and see what it looked like. I'm wondering if it was part of a church?
