Good Afternoon everyone,
I have been spending many days in the catalogs of Belgium.. awesome records, well organized. I have found a baptismal record for a Maria Theresia Verhegge, wife of Joannes Baptiste Stevens According to her death information she was from Nevel. I was able to see only the index of her death that being November 1858. So I have approximated her birth based on her husband's age and birth of her children. This document appears to be in FRENCH/LATIN and found in parish register in Nevel. May I please have a transcription and translation if possible. Thank you so much. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS17-W9HM-5?i=35&cat=94345
