Record claim

Maria de Sousa’s family of Verín

Three generations named by a sixteen-year-old defendant in her genealogy session at Coimbra on 2 December 1681: grandparents from Vila Flor, parents and uncles in Verín, siblings in Chaves.

Scope and reading limits

One process read from all 100 Digitarq images, with a partial edition. Kinship comes from the defendant’s own declarations and one copied confession. Her November sessions name extra uncles and an aunt that conflict with the December genealogy; those are kept as an unresolved reading. Verín lies in Ourense province but outside the Ribeiro, and no connection to other families in this archive or to our own family is established.
