Re: Baptism translation Andrea
Thank you for your help. Does this mean if there is no q before the name they are living? Is the date of birth noted? If it is could you tell me the place and words used?

Re: Baptism translation Andrea
This would mean "yesterday in the middle of the night"? Therefore he was born 7 April 1812? (or could the middle of the night mean after midnight therefore born 8 April 1812?)
Thank you again!

Therefore he was born 7 April 1812? (or could the middle of the night mean after midnight therefore born 8 April 1812?) It's not easy to say: i think around midnight, but probably still on 7th
