Help Translating Latin Church Records

Post by sbiondo257 »

Hello, my name is Salvatore Biondo. I'm 16 years old and very interested in my Sicilian Roots! I have many records for my family, but I'm a novice at reading and translating records. I was hoping someone might be able to help me translate some records I have of my 4th Great Grandfather Ignazio Biondo. I'd be very appreciative if anyone who has more expertise than me can lend a hand! One record is his Baptism and the other is his Marriage.
