I have one more that I could use some help with. This one is for Giuseppe (Joseph) lo Sciuto and Angela Sciacca from 1804 in San Giovanni La Punta.

You're very welcome. These Latin records are certainly difficult, but I've been getting a lot of practice lately going through such records for my husband's ancestry from two other towns. Hopefully, the more practice, the better. Certainly two years of high school Latin never prepared me for these kind of records.
