I think this Latin would have the meaning (using the first entry):

(In) 1859 (a daughter) Anna/Ann (was born to her father) Jacob Papic (who
was
the son of) Peter (Papic) and (to her mother who was born) Francesca Estra

Likewise, the second father (John Papic) was "the son of Stephan (Papic)",
the third "the son of John (Papic)" and the fourth "the son of Peter
(Papic)" -- which means Anna/Ann and Franciscus (Latin for Francesco)
probably had the same
grandfather.

I hope this helps.

Jim
