Trouble with age at death

Steve Schell

My problem is with the age at the time of death for Theodorus Husam [record #57]. It looks like a "7" in the age column. But I definitely have his baptismal record for 3 May 1864. I cannot make out the words written in the age column. Could they be saying "7 weeks old"?

Hello @Steve Schell,

Yes, you are correct: the age is: 7 hebdomadarum = 7 weeks.

The word "hebdomada" is Latin and translates as: week.
