Help w/ Christening (Cresima)

Post by Rossonero3 »

This document is the Christening for Mercurio Taormina #212, son of Pietro Taormina and Rosa Di Mercurio. What I cannot read/understand is what is says following the mother's surname of Di Mercurio.

Thanks, but I guess I meant to say that I do not understand anything after that point, do you know what the rest says and refers to?

Grazie Livio. I saw that other name listed but didn’t know what the abbreviation was for Godfather, that’s good to know.
