Hi,
It has been a long time since I've posted. I'm having trouble transcribing this baptismal entry from San Marco in Lamis (FG). This small clip was sent to me as it is and I do not have access to the full page of the register. I'd appreciate help with the transcription. Thank you! Here's what I have so far:
9 di ottobre 1738
Nunzia Giovanna Mercaldi, f[iglia] di Onofrio di Matteo Mercaldi e
Liberia Totta e di Agata Pascale di Manfredonia coniugi
ed Arcangela de Bane di __?
uten? nelf? f. da Benedetto Pilatella, ed Feliciana Totta battezzata
?_ ? Arc_? Mancini, nella Chiesa Madrice
della Parrocchia di S. Antonio Abe, Parroco D. Gerardo

Re: Request Help Transcribing Baptismal Record
a difficult read
before Mancini, the abbreviation is for the word Arciprete
the parish name S. Antonio Abate (the Abate is abbreviated)

Thank you, Mmogno! This is very helpful. I didn't know there were so many abbreviations.

Re: Request Help Transcribing Baptismal Record
If you don't mind, I have another question. I know Onofrio Mercaldi was married to Agata Pascale. It seems this baptism gives the names of Onofrio's parents as Matteo Mercaldi and Liberia Totta. Does this baptism also give the names of Agata's parents; if so, what are their names? I was confused because Manfredonia is a town in Foggia, so it's probably not someone's first name?
Re: Request Help Transcribing Baptismal Record
In my opinion the names of Agata's parents are not given. She was from Manfredonia.
