Latin question! What does 2dum conguin* line mean?

Latin question! What does 2dum conguin* line mean?

I took a picture of the document in question. The entry starts with “Codem die.” Right in the middle, to the right edge, I am having problems understanding what the meaning of “super 2dum conguinita...”, or whatever those letters are, is in Latin. A second something, or another?

 

Let me know what it means. Is it a shortened form of consanguinitas? Were they closely related? Or is it something to do with the word conjugum? Maybe it isn’t even a c in the first place?

The couple was granted a dispensation because they were related by blood in the 2nd degree.

See this article about dispensations from the Catholic Encyclopedia (the link is off to the right in blue):

Also have a look at this article from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consanguinity

 

BTW, be wary of the numbers on the chart in the article from wikipedia. They do not refer to degree of sanguinity as is stated in the document.

 

I am not sure exactly what 2nd degree means--it could mean first or second cousins, as we understand those terms. But I do not know.

If you trace the ancestors of these people, you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly. I would be very interested to know what you learn--how they were related.

They are married with dispensation meaning they are second cousins to each other ;-)

A second degree consanguity is usually a first cousin relationship when used in Catholic records.

A van Helsdingen (I don't know your entire name, but welcome aboard!),

thank you so much for pointing out that article in the Catholic Encyclopedia. I pointed out the article on Dispensation, but not that one, so thanks for doing so.

 

The Catholic Encyclopedia is a fabulous source for all sorts of information and I use it quite often. It's indispensable for our work as genealogists. There is a link to it off to the right in blue: - The Catholic Encyclopedia
