rotary mail slot of sorts? Of the wet nurses, did they typically become
adoptive parents?
I don't know why the expostos fascinate me so much. Perhaps it was just
the shock of seeing so many of them in one year at one freguesia.

After the Azores, where did your Pereira's end up? In the Azores, my

One way to start is to do a Google search on Sephardic Judaism, followed by
its roots out of Iberia. You will find detailed descriptions of the family
surnames associated with the Jewish people, including the Pereiras, of

Should you be able to find out who your Mello's were going back in Sao
