I'm glad you found this. I had located this record, and Agata's birth record yesterday, but never got a chance to post them for you.

The marriage was on Oct 16, 1605. Antonino Trucco was the son of Battista and Gioanna (Giovanna) Trucco of Palermo. Vincenza was the daughter of deceased Filippo and deceased Castrenza "di Virardi" of Monreale. The surname ultimately became written as Vilardi." I still don't know the reason why the priests in the Sicilian church records ultimately changed the "r" to an "ell." I have the same issue with the main surname in my husband's ancestry.

Thanks Erudita!

Is "Battista" a variant of "GioBattista"?

[erudita74]

In this record, the name is just Battista, but all Italian variants are derived from the Italian word for "baptized," and were given in honor of St John the Baptist.
