Is there anyone who would be able to give me a translation of this document for the baptismal record for Joannes Battisti from March 2, 1669?

Thank you in advance,
Rick

ok, thank you. I was not positive. I was looking at the different names and saw Johannes spelled out on some records and then this Joi's.
Another question is what is the date? It looks like it was dated for May but then I clearly see April.

The top baptismal record for Domenicus Batisti, son of Joe's Battisti and Anna Maria.

I am researching church records in Sover, Trento, Italy. I am back in the early 17th century.
My question is, I see the name that looks like "Joe's" quite a bit. I also see Joannes, however. So, what is "Joe's"? Is it a short form of Joannes or is it Joseph (Giuseppe)?

Is anyone researching or have connections to the surnames Urbani or Bazzanella in the community of Sover, Trento? I have traced back to the later 16th century.

Thank you for any assistance,
Rick

Thank you,

My 2nd gr.grandfather from Trento had 2 older brothers that I assume died young. I have found their church baptismal records. In the columns before their names are a symbol that looks like an iron cross with dates circled, which I assume are the dates of their death. I have not found their death ...
