Hi K

Many thanks for your help.

It's much clearer now. It's definatley a baptism and she's illigitimate. Thanks, Regards Lou

Hi K

I honestly don't know. But the thought occured to me it could be a marriage, although on the record it says 'baptizat' so presumed it was a baptism. Just wondering if one of the bridal couple wasn't catholic and had to be baptised at the time of marriage?

As I'm not a catholic I haven't got a clue. but thanks for your thoughts.

Regards Lou

Could they be the godparents? From googling Matrina Fuit " the translation is "the godfather/ mother"

Filia - am guessing this mean female: Patrinus - does this mean father? Matrina fuit - don't know.

The whole baptism starts with dates & appears to be the birth date and baptism date.

Followed by names some of which are in brackets which is probably the English version, this is then followed by "Filia" followed by a different christian name but same surname.

Then in brackets olim with space for someone to fill in but it's blank. Then the word 'conjugum' followed by what could be the priest's name. Then Patrinus fuit followed by a different christian name AND surname. Then Matrina fuit followed by a different christian name AND another surname. I am presuming these are the parents. But if that's the case why doesn't the child have the same surname of either of her parents?

There is more Latin but nothing else is filled in.

Help or advice much appreciated as I'm really finding this difficult to understand.

Regards Lou
