Maria Elena, I did NOT say that expostos used their baptismal date. Go back and double check. Here it is and I'll use fonts for emphasis:
<<Yes, *many* people (*expostos or otherwise*) use their baptism date for their birth date.>> I did NOT say ALL expostos do this. I said MANY people. I don't want people think that it's some type of rule. Many people just did (and maybe some even still do) this.
