Help deciphering 2 Baptismal Records for a Cannella

Post by italian059 »

Would someone please translate these two records. The first record is the last one on the page. Not sure if the parents are the same in both.
Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. Do they by any chance have Caterina's maiden name listed on either of these records?

Caterina's maiden name is in the first record. It looks like Mistrina, but there is no such surname, as far as I can tell. What town are these records from? Corleone?

Erudita,
Yes,it is from Corleone. I am getting ready to post a marriage record that I think may be hers. It is so hard to read.
She was married to Natale Cannella.
Thanks so much for all your help.

I'm wondering if the surname is Mistretta and the priest spelled it as Mistritta
