Can't make heads or tails

Post by JamesM »

Could I have help reading this record from a marriage processetti?
It seems to read Carlo Antonio Moretta, son of Crescenzo and Catarina Maselli, a date of 22 August 1817 and Monticelli. That is all I can take from it

On 1 February 1787, Carlantonio Moretta, died. He was the son of the deceased Crescenzo Moretta and of the deceased Catarina Maselli and his age was 48. 22 August 1817 was the date of the certificate. The certificate is from the Church of Monticelli – S. Maria Maggiore, which the Priest wrote after consulting the Death Registers of the Church.

Hopefully I have the hang of reading these.
May I have assistance with this one?

Baptism 27 September 1797 of Maria Giovanna daughter of Cesare Romanelli and Teresa Moretta.
What I can't make out is the wording between the 1797 and Maria Giovanna

"On the 27 November 1797 was baptised Maria Giovanna, daughter of married couple Cesare Romanelli and of Teresa Moretta."

fu battezzata = she was baptised
9bre = November (September would be 7bre)

(Edit to Add:

They were working with the Roman Calendar which only had ten months.

The following chart which I have copied and tweaked from another thread might help clarify:

7bre/7bris = settembre (sette=7)
8bre/8bris = ottobre (otto=8)
9bre9/bris = novembre (nove=9)
10bre/10bris= dicembre (dice=dieci=10) this can also be found as Xbre where X=10 in Roman numbers
