I found a death entry (second entry of page) that appears to reflect multiple deaths including Antonio Pereira Carauta. I can read that the deaths relate to January 1732. I'm assuming there was some type of event that resulted in these deaths. There are also some side notes which I don't understand. Does the entry cited any event and what do the side notes reflect? 
See website address below.  Thanks Tony

Hi Tony,

I think they are all men. I don't see the word "terremoto" for earthquake, but I did see the word "barco" on the top line, so I think they died on a boat. Hopefully someone else can shed more light.

In the month of January 1732 a boat from this parish endangered (perigaram) 10 persons native and residents of this village.  They were
--Antonio Joam, married to Maria de Luz
--Antonio Pereira Carauta, married to Ana Rodrigues
--Manuel de Freitas, son from the family of Manuel de Freitas
--Francisco Cardoso, single
--Manuel Pereira, married to Maria Pereira
--Antonio, son of Manuel das Neves
--Manuel Pedro, son of Pedro Goularte
--Francisco Rodrigues, married to Ana Pereira
--Manuel Rodrigues, son of Amaro Rodrigues

I really think it says 10 persons but I am only finding the nine I listed.  All nine I listed have an entry in CITCEM with death listed as 1 Jan 1732.  I can see in the margin notes the words "no mar" ending the first part and the second part begins with "mortes no mar"  The entry was made in the book between entries on 24 Apr 1732 and 6 May 1732 so was written between those dates.  My thinking is that the boat went out sometime in January expecting to return but never did.  Before 6 May but after 24 Apr they either found evidence of their demise or just came to the conclusion that they must have died at sea.

Interesting entry.

G'day Cheri and Bill,

Great work and thanks very much.

What is CITCEM?

Cheers Tony

Tony,

It's an acronym for:
Centro de Investigação Transdisciplinar Cultura, Espaço, e Memoria
Then you want the GHP section. That's an acronym for:
Grupo de História da Populações

In English, it's:
Transdisciplinary Research Center for Culture, Space, and Memory -
Population History Group

It's a mouthful in English too. So just bookmark it:

It's had various names in the past, but they want to be known now as CITCEM.

Thanks for the explanation. I tried the link but it wouldn't open. Something to do with a secure connection not being supported (too technical for me). I'll try again later. Cheers Tony

Tony, try a different browser and see if that helps.

Hi Tony,

While you always want to be careful when accessing websites, this one is all right to use. 


What your browser is telling you, in this case, is that this site is not using a security certificate to direct the browser to encrypt the information that goes between you and the website. Since you are not giving this website any personal or account information that shouldn’t matter. 


 In the message you get warning you that the site is not secure there should be an option to continue anyway. Click on that option. 


Below is some information about the difference between sites using simple http:// protocol and https:// secure protocol.


What’s the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

https://aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-https-and-http/


“Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is a protocol or set of communication rules for client-server communication. When you visit a website, your browser sends a HTTP request to the web server, which responds with an HTTP response. The web server and your browser exchange data as plaintext. In short, HTTP protocol is the underlying technology that powers network communication. As the name suggests, hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) is a more secure version or an extension of HTTP. In HTTPS, the browser and server establish a secure, encrypted connection before transferring data.”


From Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS


The principal motivations for HTTPS are authentication of the accessed website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data while it is in transit. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks, and the bidirectional block cipher encryption of communications between a client and server protects the communications against eavesdropping and tampering.[4][5] The authentication aspect of HTTPS requires a trusted third party to sign server-side digital certificates. This was historically an expensive operation, which meant fully authenticated HTTPS connections were usually found only on secured payment transaction services and other secured corporate information systems on the World Wide Web. In 2016, a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation with the support of web browser developers led to the protocol becoming more prevalent.[6] HTTPS is since 2018[7] used more often by web users than the original, non-secure HTTP, primarily to protect page authenticity on all types of websites, secure accounts, and keep user communications, identity, and web browsing private.

[There are now free or inexpensive options to obtain a certificate]

G'day Karen, Thanks for the information. I'll see how it goes. Also, sorry for not responding earlier but have been "distracted" by other events. Kindest regards Tony
