Thanks Cheri, I have a couple other questions so please bear with me.
Line 4: Casa da Lavada do ? - House of some road? What road is it? Is there a map somewhere with all the roads named? I couldn't find one with street names. Line 10: Says he was 40 correct? I don't see any birthdate, which would be extremely helpful! What is the word after the names one looks like Laivadar (Line 9 from bottom) and other looks like Governo (line 8 from bottom) Thanks, Eddie On Thursday, October 18, 2012 12:24:44 AM UTC-4, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Line 2: bro de anno de mil oito centos setenta > Line 3: e cinco, as sete horas de a manha > > Watch his "de."
