Denise and MNK,
Thank you for this information! So, it appears that even though he didn't receive the sacraments and was poor, he was buried in the church cemetery. I take it, it doesn't say what he died from? Thanks much to you both for you help. Sam in CA Hi Sam, Termo da Villa de Calheta I believe means they lived on the edge of town, if you will. Likely close to the border of another town. I can see where it says buried in the cemetery of this ?? With oficios (services?) on the 4th day of December of 1836. That's the best I can make of it. Denise De Freitas D'Antona Looks like he died suddenly and didn't receive the sacraments. The year is 1836 and he is about 40 years old.
