RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Death Record for Braz Correa in Sao Sebastiao, Ponta Delgada

Fred,

I didn't look at your record, but here's part of the answer. It's Latin and found in Portuguese church records:

In civil law the phrase sui juris indicates legal competence, the capacity to manage one's own affairs (Black's Law Dictionary, Oxford English Dictionary) as opposed to alieni juris, which means someone under the control of another, such as one adjudged incapable of appropriate self-determinations or an infant.

I think I found the death record for my 6th ggf but I'm having trouble reading the record. I read the date as 22 Dec 1735. After his name are the word "sui juris (sp?)"...what does that mean?  Are there other important facts in the record, like wife's name or his parents names?  The record is at the top left page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-O-1731-1746/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-O-1731-1746_item1/P58.html

Any help is much appreciated.

Fred
