Wow. Thanks so much. Is that normal for someone to have been buried in a convent?
Re: Help with translating a death record from Corleone
I just enlarged the record, and now the word I thought was convent is actually the word for cemetery in Latin, which is why it starts coe instead ce, as in Italian. She was buried in the Saint Mary Magdalena Cemetery.
Just a sidenote: sometimes elderly widowed women did go to live in convents.
