Help with handwritten Latin?

Post by vineviz »

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone would be willing to help me translate a handwritten Latin document. It appears to be an extract of a parish death record for my 4G grandfather, who died in 1786, made for my great-grandfather's processetti in 1860. I am having a difficult time with the handwriting, and my Latin skills are not great anyway. I can make out a little bit of the second paragraph, but I'd hate to miss something useful.

In any event, any help will be greatly welcomed.

Thanks,

Vince
