These Acestes are collateral to the line I'm researching. I'm just curious about the structure of the record for future reference.

Wife's Surname on Latin Record of Baptism?
Antonia appears to have no surname listed on this record of baptism. Does that mean that her maiden name is the same as her husband's surname (Aceste)?

Antonia's surname appears on the next line. It is Fici.

Grazie! What threw me on this was the name Fici was not capitalized.

Unfortunately, there is no consistency in the church records. The priests did whatever they wanted. The Council of Trent in the mid 1500s only dictated to the parishes that they had to keep the records, but did not give the parishes any kind of format for those records. In many of the earlier baptism records that I have for my husband's ancestry, the mother's maiden name is not even given. That doesn't mean that her married and maiden names were one and the same though. The priest just didn't record her surname, or what we in the U.S. refer to as a maiden name.
