Meaning of di Forte [dee-FOUR-tay]: (son of) the strong

 

      No primary records of my fourth-great-grandfather Giovanni di Forte's birth have been found, but I know his name from the 1790 marriage record of his daughter Vincenza di Forte, which shows below that Giovanni was still living then, and his wife was named Arcangela (no surname given).  No other information is known about him.

Matrimonii (Marriages)

       This is a church record.  Such records were ostensibly in Latin, but here, some Italian is mixed in.  For example, "fu" is Italian for "the late", while the correct Latin would be "defuncta".  There are also many Latin abbreviations.  The original record is followed by a more legible transcription in Latin, including abbreviations, then by a lengthier Latin transcription with abbreviations expanded, and finally by a translation into English.  I have shown hyphenation where necessary, although the original does not use hyphens.  Words I could not understand or translate are shown in red.  The "informed consent" referred to was given by the parents of the bride for her to be married.
