Hi J,
Welcome to the group! And congratulations on finding those records :D
The dates in the 19th century records are typically written out in words.
Here's a clip of the information you asked for in Maria's record.
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5PaJu6zgV-4/VuY3IUJ4mAI/AAAAAAAAABA/Lk2zKrfgyLkCfrRdLi4vnGtjvSGs1_SNg/s1600/Capture%2Btemp.JPG>
The birthday starts with the last word in the first line, "nasceo".
"...nasceo aos des e seis de Fev.ro de mil outo centos cincouenta, e cinco
em o dia vinte dad.o mez, e anno foi baptisada..."
so, Maria was born on the 16th of February 1855 and baptised on the 20th of
the same month.
If I read it right, Joao was born on 30 April 1851 and baptized on the 6th
of May.
The red arrows you added to point to the entries were really helpful. I
think the preferred protocol for posting records on this forum is to post a
link to the CCA records, though. It does make it easier to use the
built-in magnification and up-scaling to view the records on a variety of
browser platforms.
best of luck in your research!
Linda
