The interpretation Wes gave of the footnote is correct as far as I can
read french. That was his only question.
You are correct though in saying that in those days there is hardly any
check possible on the day of entrance, just on some day of being there
in some do***ent. In dutch I know e.g. the books on "added civilians"
(persons with extra rights within the city). Those were entered on the
day they were accepted as such, not on the day they entered the city in
question. The source may however reveal where they came from.
