This is an image of my 12th Great-Grandfather's baptismal record, but I'm having trouble translating it through the damage. Can anyone get any information off of it? I tried editing it a few times to make certain words more visible. It should contain the following information:
Name: Matteo Lo Blundo
Date: June 20, 1570
Parents: Matteo Lo Blundo and Giovanna Dino

Can you post a readable record as near to this as you can, so that we can see how it is structured?

Here are his brother's and sister's baptism records from the same church.
The bigger picture is of Vincenzo Lo Blundo on August 2, 1562
The smaller picture is of Francesca Lo Blundo on December 24, 1559

I read "Junii" but can't see the day of month.
Can't see mother's surname, either.

Are the father's name and the mother first name there?
Re: Matteo Lo Blundo - 1570 Monreale Baptism - DAMAGED
What I read (or I think to read
) is
"matteo - Jan(nell)a blundu"
If you compare the record with the one above, it seems that there's something more between "f. di" and "matteo"; I think it's "q(uon)dam". That would explain the fact that the child was named after his father.
