Rick, Yes, there was/is an orphange in Ponta Delgada. It was called Asilo de Infancia Desvilida de Ponta Delgada . Today it is called La Mae de Deus. My great aunt was there from 1891 to 1902. I have had contact with this orphange and made donations in her memory also. I plan to visit it on my trip to Ponta Delgada in a few months. Why she was the only child in the family put in the orphanage, I do not know and may never know.
