Need help. Who is dead here?

Post by bottino »

This is an interesting birth record .(Milano) I need help in translating who is dead. I see quandum before the father, and grandfathers. I guess I am curious what the word posthuma means right after the child.
Thanks
Paul

It means the baby was born after father had died. "Postuma"="(born) after death"; "quondam" latin for "deceased"
