I found this baptism (the first one on the page - on the left) of a baby with no first name. I know the cross in the side column means this baby died. But I don't understand why there is no first name. The couple listed Pasquale Crivaro & Rosa Falcone I assume are the parents (I descend from them). Why is there no name? Were Pasquale and Rosa the parents or was this baby found by them? The baptism is here

Thank you.

Yes, it is highly probable that the baby died in a few hours after the birth.

Me too. Maybe the Priest didn't register the act immediately and he forgot the name, so he did leave a blank space to fill it in a second time and then he forgot (and two!) to write it.

They were the parents, and the baby was a female.
