Google Translate is able to translate about half the web site. After that, you need to copy and paste portions. It does a fair enough job to make sense.
In some of the incidences, they recorded the number of deaths. One said 7000 deaths. I do wonder how accurate and population statistics was back then. I understand that the point is A LOT of deaths though. One said most of Terceira was wiped out! Others explained plaques or problems with crops. One said almost all children under age 3 died. It explains some of what we call a "bottleneck" and why some of our DNA is winds up being endogamous. Thanks, Margaret!
