    Thanks for trying, I think that the word is quhilbis but I don't know what it means. I see it over and over again

    debts ..... pertaining to umquhil (deceased = late) etc.

    But it is not important anyway. I am trying to extrapolate names, relationships from many other testaments of Shetland. Thanks for trying.
