*Well, Fred, the record is the "record!" Until someone can come up with "credible" information to disprove what you've found, it is the only document with a date specific for Goncalo Mendes. Was Goncalo 110 yrs old when he died? Perhaps. If he was 110 yrs old at death, who, that was still living at that time, would "know" - absent a document that actually stated his date of birth. Did Goncalo, himself, even know when he was born? Most of our ancestors only had a vague idea, at best, of when they were born - they didn't live in an era that people needed that kind of information. We're at the point where there aren't many records left that can substantiate, or disprove, what you've found. Now the question becomes: "is it the [right] Goncalo Mendes," but, I wouldn't worry about that unless, or until, someone, using "credible" information, disputes your find **- so, take credit for your find (GOOD WORK)! * * :)* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Friday, April 18, 2014 7:10:14 PM UTC-4, fred_star wrote: > > Dano, One other find that is possible match for Goncalo Mendes death > record.
