Genealogy | | French term or phrase: sont comparus | sont comparus....written in an old death certificate from the 1800's...
As in the phrase...
"Pardevant nous Ferrey de Montitiès Auguste, Maire et officier de l’etat Civil de la commune de Champeaux … est comparu en la maison commune Lemaréchal Amand-Cyrille, âgé de vingt-trois ans, menuisier, domicilié en cette commune… " |
| | | appeared (before us) | Explanation:
This is still the translation today in legal documents.
But your example text says 'est comparu', not 'sont comparus', because the subject is Lemaréchal Amand-Cyrille.
