If you looked for a 10 year period and that's the only Alexandrina you've found who is an exposto, it's her. Plenty of women use the name of the church as their religious middle name. Test all 4 grandchildren with Family Finder at FTDNA: https://goo.gl/X0gSGr The test is $79 + $12.95 S If you

What a wonderful tribute Susan, to such a kind friend to so many of us. She helped me as well early on, with generous encouragement to learn to read records and was always willing to get involved with many obstacles I shared with her. I so enjoyed meeting her personally and admired her spirit of

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Would appreciate some help from the Pros on what to do when you see "de avos ocultos"

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese-African ancestry

I've been doing some research on the Portuguese slave trade. My reason for doing so is because I took a big interest in this as every time I've gone to either the USA or the Carribean I'm always asked if I'm mixed. The first time I was asked this question was over 20 years ago in Jamaica and I

I’ve been away from my computer and did to not think I could say what I wanted to say by typing on my phone! I just wanted to say a little about Arline. She reached out to me years and years ago when she saw from Rosemarie’s newsletter that we had a connection. I had everything to gain by our

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Would appreciate some help from the Pros on what to do when you see "de avos ocultos"

Alexandrina do Assuncao is the mom. Neither grandparents are known, so Alexandrina herself was an exposto, foundling, orphaned. There's no way to verify the family stories from this document. You may be able to use DNA if you could obtain samples from all the descendants mentioned in your
