Hi All,
A question was raised in my class at the DAR Conference this year. The
question by Don Vasconcelos, was what does the priest in Norte Grande, Sao
Jorge mean when he writes Jovem or Parvulo in the margin notes. I looked
them up in my Portuguese Dictionary and here is the meanings it lists:

Jovem--young, youthful, juvenile, a young man or woman
Parvulo--child, innocent, humble

Looking back at my records it seems that he writes "parvulo" for a child
who is under 2 years and then "jovem" is for over 2 but still not an adult.
I never have really figured out how old the oldest age may be.
