HI, Your post made on Fonseca caught my interest, I am also looking for Fonseca. I was always told that my Great Great Grandfather was Fonseca, and when he came over to this country he changed his name to Cardoza. Why, no one knows. My Aunt who is still living says her Mother was names Philomena Foncesca Cardoza. I have ot been able to find anything on Fonseca at all. Good Luck, I will be following you to see if your luckier than me. Ramona Freitas Nason
