Translated from the Latin, the record states:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Wojciech Da\u0144ko, the widower of Rozalia Chru\u015bcicka, a farmer and the father of a family, died on 28 Dec 1853, the 68th death in Nienadowa that year<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Wojciech was a Catholic male, residing in house number 178<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">He was buried on 30 Dec 1853 by J Karpi\u0144ski, Assistant Pastor of the church in Dubiecko<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">He was 81 years old at the time of his death<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">His death was due to [old age?] and he received the final sacrament<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\">Since this record states that Wojciech was a widower, I can assume that Rozalia Chru\u015bcicka died before him, even though I don&#8217;t have a copy of her death record.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I&#8217;m not sure how to translate the word <em>morosmo<\/em>. I can&#8217;t find this word in my dictionaries. I have translated it as &#8220;old age&#8221;, but this translation is probably not literally correct.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The rather enigmatic <em>ss. smtis provisus<\/em> is an abbreviation for &#8220;the sacred sacraments [last rites] were provided.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Wojciech was buried two days after he died. At the time he died, the bodies of the deceased were usually buried soon after death, at least in part due\u00c2\u00a0to concerns about communicable diseases.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">One difficulty with all these Galician records is the frequent use of abbreviations and the habit of the priests of writing the first part of a word on one line and finishing the spelling on the next line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wojciech Da\u0144ko died in 1853.
