Vincenco's Family

[darkerhorse]

This is a 1651 Riveli record from Sicily.

Can you read the names of Vincenzo's wife and son, and his son's age?

[PippoM]

My guess:
Franc(esche)lla
Roccu (Rocco) di anni setti (7 years old)

But better have other opinions...

Thanks.

What about a translation of the first paragraph (above Anime)?

[PippoM]

I try...
"Revelo che Vicenzo Pitrozzello q(uon)dam Joan(n)i(s) habitante in q(ues)ta ter(r)a di S(an)to Miceli p(rese)nta al spett(abile) fra(?) Don Ant(oni)o Del Censina cap(ita)no d'arme alla numeratione et descrittione p(rese)nte in virtù di bando di S(ua) E(ccellenza) promulgato per ordine di esso spett(abile) cap(itano) di arme."

Thanks.

What does "quondam Joani" mean? Of his deceased father (John), his deceased mother (Joan/Ann), his deceased wife (Joan/Ann)?

[PippoM]

It is referred to his father, Giovanni

Thanks.

I hadn't realized that "Joani" is the genitive case in Latin (of Giovanni).
