Guessing about

BIRT - Birth
DEAT - Death
BURI - Buried
OCCU - Occupation
RESI - Residence

The other bits are presumably file numbers. Perhaps someone else could tell you where they originate from. Possibly from an off line tree programme which they have uploaded to here. The numbers seem to be sequential.

If all else fails, you could always ask the tree owner :0
