Help with the translation of Latin/Italian Birth Baptism of Benedetto, Paola.

Post by jrbak »

Good Evening,
I believe I found the Birth /Baptism of my 3rd great grandmother, Paola Benedetto in 1787. There is no # however it is on pg. 22. Her father is Giacinto and her mother Domenico Marzone. Would this be a possible match and if so would you mind translating this for me. I figured her birth date around 1783 but this could be wrong. She died 1841, age 44? I make out the words eadem ecclesia which from looking backwards is the church SS Pietro and Laurenti.

Thank you so very much.

Oh, mmogno,
Thank you so much for translating and confirming the birth record of my third great grandmother. I am so happy! and in 1787. I was so pleased that I was able to make some of the words out to put this together (at least I thought so). I have been looking at others now in the 1760 range and NOT EASY!! Sorry, I was away for awhile and could not thank you but I do, very much so.
Grazie!!
