I hope you can translate this and maybe find a source. Thanks in adcance for any help you can provide.

Hi adamsam,

The record is from the Village of Ławsk in the Parish of Wąsosz According to the Geneteka death index the year is 1802. Here is a link to the entry for Ławsk in the Słownik geograficzny http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_V/616 and a link to a subset of Geneteka which provides info about where parish records are housed: https://parafie.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=pr&pid=9340

The translation follows.

Wishing you continued success,

Dave

Translation: Top: Ławsk
Body of Entry: On the same day and month (19 May) the industrious* Maryanna, the consort/wife of the industrious* Sylwester Samelka, having** 45 years more or less; she was buried in the cemetery.

Notes: *laboriosus/industrious was an adjective used to describe an individual as a peasant.

**habens/having is a literal translation into Latin of the Polish age idiom.
