"Dona" in the portugues country is not equivalent to Lady. I say "Dona Lea"
with my mother in law. However, Dona is used to upper or mddle-class, often to
land owner or a rich merchant wife.Note that the husband of the "Dona" is not
a "Don.

"ao pé de" can be literally translated as "at the foot of", as Cheri
explained.But "ao pé de" is a Portuguese expression that means "near to". That
is a translation that is closer to its meaning.
O João está ao pé da padaria.João is near the bakery.

Gordon,
I'd really need to see the whole record. Is the apostrophe after the "e" on
"Pe" really an accent of "Pé?" That means foot. "Ao" means "on the" or "at the"
(it's a contraction). So "at the foot of Ladeira" is how I kinda interpret that
without seeing it in context.
D. is Dona. It's a title, similar to Lady, as in Lady Diana. The older Dona
titles are real. As they come forward in time, they are used more loosely and
may not have the status that they used to carry with them.

Is Ao Pe’ da Ladeira a street in Lajes or is it a different place? Also, when a
record says “husband of D. Teresa and their daughter D. Maria…what does the “D”
mean?
