Other / word on a baptismal certificate
English term or phrase: Degentium
After listing the parents of the child the priest looking after Vietnamese refugees in a camp in Thailand in 1980 writes:
Degentium in Camp Sikiu.
Then it ends up with the usual "in quorem fidem".
Thanks for any help.

Explanation:
Couldn't it be "filius/filia parentum vitam degentium in Camp Sikiu"?

Meaning "Child of parents living in Camp Sikiu?"

agree  Luis Antonio de Larrauri: Yes, but "dego" can be used without "vitam"/I'm afraid is the 2nd :)
