English term

After David???

English Other
Hi everyone,

this is a strange question, but I hope someone can help me.
I'm doing a transcription of an old American movie and there is a part where they talk about some genealogical document which they call "after David, or Davis" I can't quite understand because the sound is bad, does anyone know how this document is relly called?

Thanks a lot

Ciao

affidavit

Sorry, I didn't notice that this was an English monolingual question. The English definition in NODE – The New Oxford Dictionary of English for "affidavit" is "a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court"

"eidliche Erklärung" or "Offenbarungseid" or "eidesstatliche Erklärung" or even "Affidavit-Aussage"

The term is probably "affidavit" = "eidliche Erklärung" or "Offenbarungseid" or "eidesstatliche Erklärung" or even "Affidavit-Aussage".

HTH
