Ciao!

Can anyone help me with a translation of this baptismal record? The child's first name appears to be Andriana but I am unsure of the next name. The abbreviation appears to be Anz.a. I believe the third name is Margherita.

This record is from 1680 and the name Anz.a appears to have been very popular at that time in both the masculine and feminine form.

Any help with the rest of the record would be appreciated! I can see that the parents are Vincenzo and Simona Barone (Baruni) but that's about it.

Hi,

I think name is "Ant.a" and is an abbreviation of "Antonia".

Ciao.

Ant.a = Antonia

Thanks! That makes sense. I thought maybe it was Anunziata but I think Antonia/Antonio was more common. It looks like the name of the godparent? witness? on the second line was Ant.no as well. For some reason the t's all look like z's.
