I found the year based on book states it was 1820 or what ever book I am looking at and the name I can sometime read or see those by looking though the documents. But I still have issue trying to figure out Month date and things like that. I have a book at home and I am trying to teach myself this information but I am not having in luck. 75% of the time I am not always right on information, but I am trying.

Bob C, I'm curious how you ascertain from a baptism that only gives the first name (in this case, Manuel) that it is Manuel Jose da Silva from 1820. Most people find read the year the hardest since it's written out long hand, yet you are able to make that out. I'm just scratching my head over this, trying to figure out what you can read and what you can't.
