Found a record that contains information for an ancestor. I understand most of the columns but there are some columns/info I cannot understand. Is anyone familiar with these record formats and know the meaning of each column? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @arielpintotorres1 Can you share the URL to the record? That way we could be sure we are giving you the best possible information. Not all registers are formatted the same way.
