Hello,
No problem, I love reading these kinds of documents!! Your question is a very good one; it could mean a disease, an epidemic, around this time. But it is quite normal the high child mortality in this period. Did you have a chance to check out the records of death in this time? And see I f there is more than one death by "Household"? And if could see the ratio of the age of these women, that loose the children. These could be clues to finding the answer. For example, the mothers could be awfully young. Huma – Means one, but, the word lost the H, and Know a days its spelles uma. We use it when he refers to a number of things, in the feminine. Criança (the word is feminine) uma Um (autocarro) the word (bus) is masculine Does this make sense to you? 2008/10/13 nancy jean baptiste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Yolanda and thank you so much for translating the record so quickly for > me.
