Just my two cents worth but I too lelieve thst it must be an "alcunha". Also there is of Salanca in the Northern Catalonia in Spain.

Terri, I think it is an "alcunha" like Cheri thinks. I have a guess: calanco. Note on the first line, the last word: "Sentos". He wrote "sentos" with an S, when it should be "centos", the correct way. So the word we are looking for could very probably be calanco. Calanco is an italina surname and it is a small ravine, a ditch. Note that some "alcunha" names becomes, through the years, a last name. Maybe this is the case.

I thought I had the right person but now I see another word/ name in the documents after his name that makes me wonder. I have a marriage record for Manuel de Sousa Carvalho x Anna da Estrella . But in the death record I found, I read 'Manuel Carvalho Salanca' who was married to Anna de Estrella .Sometimes I am seeing ' Lomba' after some names and I assume this is a place but is there an area of Ginetes called ' Salanca?' or could this be a last name and maybe I have the wrong death record.
