Gordon,
You need to post the record. As I said, without seeing it, it's literally
"at the foot of." If you want it in context, you need to post the record.
All I can assume is he was at the end of a street or the base of something.
That's literal. As Gonçalo said, it can mean "near to." So it depe
Great help Goncalo. What would it mean to be at the foot of Ladeira?

"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

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 titl
D means Dona which translates as Lady. Like Lord and Lady in England. Other
people with more experience should provide you with better information but that
is my simple view of Dona. Hope this helps, Doreen

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?
