Post by JOHN08 »

Death record: 28 August 1787, Nicola Possumato, 60, son of [what does the abbreviation ggm mean?] Cosmo and Camilla Pirro married in Riccia.

Thanks for your help.

Hi John

It's actually "qqm" (plural) which is the Latin abbreviation indicating that both parents were deceased. qm is the singular. They are abbreviations for the word “quondam” (deceased or the Italian “defunto). The m is usually raised – looks like superscript.

quondam: formerly; at one time
