Yes, I was reviewing burial records, so you are right that it must mean infant. I've seen the word spelled a couple of different ways. The "z" might be an "r" and it might say "Paruula." I'm sure the spelling varies depending on the region and the priest's origin. Gracias - it seems there is nothing you people at Ranchos can't figure out!

The only correct way to spell it is parvula/parvulo. The Real Academia
Española is the authority on the Spanish language.

spelling is parbulo/parbula.
