Baerbel, I gather that in this case "from here" only means that he was currently living in the town, not that he had been born there. Is that correct?

Susan, An online Latin-English dictionary says: hujas, hujates = from here, from this village; "here" or "in this place" in reference to the town/village/place that the records are being kept in; in generally means that the person was B or C in that parish/village, is "belonging" to that village [but could mean also that the person was living in the village at the date when the ge occurred]. In common Latin dictionaries the term is not to be found. ________________________________ From: Susan Clark <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, January 16, 2010 1:37:30 PM Subject: Re: [G-P-L] hujatem and pludicam Baerbel, I gather that in this case "from here" only means that he was currently living in the town, not that he had been born there.  Is that correct?
