1. Date: Year? April, day ? Is this the baptism day? Is the date of birth noted?
2. Father: Antonio Retagliata son of Joannis Bapt (Giovanni Battista?) son of Antonius (Antonio). Are they noted as living or not?
3. Mother: Martina Cappellini daughter of Antonio. living or not?
4. What else does the document note?

Thank you for your assistance

Thank you for your help. Does this mean if there is no q before the name they are living? Is the date of birth noted? If it is could you tell me the place and words used?

This would mean "yesterday in the middle of the night"? Therefore he was born 7 April 1812? (or could the middle of the night mean after midnight therefore born 8 April 1812?)
Thank you again!
