1788 French Marriage Contract - need help deciphering some words
« on: Sunday 28 May 23 05:29 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,

I'm working on a French Marriage Contract and need help deciphering some words.  The writing is challenging and the copy is not 100% clear and sharp.  If anyone can help with the highlighted words in the attached snippet I'd be eternally grateful.  Thank you.

Thank you joger and jayaygee

This is the first moment I've had to get back to this marriage contract.  So, my apologies for my tardy reply.

Thank you so much to both of you for providing the missing words.  And thank you joger for providing the additional background regarding the Chenu brothers.  I am very grateful to both of you for taking the time to respond to my post.  I appreciate your time and expertise very much.

Hello again,

I've gone back to my 1788 French Marriage Contract and need more help, please.

I've attached several new snippets, all of which have words and phrases highlighted in yellow.  Those are the parts that have me completely stumped.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
