Cheri, If I may point out this is not a birth record, it is a documented account of a birth record that went missing and here logged and witnessed:
It does state he was *born* and *baptized* in 1825 by the then Rev. Cura Joao Jose Ferreira. This is a written statement only based on the swearing of the original godparents and his own parents along with the witnesses present at the baptism in 1825 over the holy oils because the original record was missing.....and he goes on to say... for this I wrote and signed in this said place (page). Also please note the next page's baptism is dated 1822. So he went back in the book and found an empty page to add the missing record. Another thing is the CCA shows the year of record being 1837-1848 when we're reading records for 1821 etc. Important to note the Catholic church does *not* baptize twice it literally would be considered a "sacrilege".
