So then this one should mean "son of the living"?

I am sorry, you are right. Here is the complete entry.

I am looking at the notation, Right after the name Sebastoni E'vn ty'. It comes in front of the grandfathers name. I am assuming it might mean "who is living".
Thanks again

Thank you so much Livio. I think I finally get it. I am new at reading this latin handwriting, and you can see how bad I am now.
I think that your web site is one of the most interesting genealogical web sites I have ever seen. It is awesome.
Thanks again.
Paul
