I have 16 pages of baptisms from the St. Peter's microfilm in Annapolis. As in previous messages I am going to gradually transcribe them for the list. I am not going to try to translate the latin at this time. Some good people on the list have submitted web sites that give latin and english equivalents everyone can use to check the names. Catholic priests of this time kept Baptism records in latin. Another thing to keep in mind is if the parents gave their kid a non saint name the priest might ignore it and use a middle name as the name if was the first name. I will be chipping away at these records for quite some time. I am putting in the sponsor names as some will be godparents of my relatives, and my relatives will be sponsors of people I don't know. I would appreciate it if anyone who recognizes people in these messages go ahead and reply and say who you know and a little about them as I am not adding anything to the records and may be very interested in whoever you reco! gnize. Also remember I am just trying to read long handwriting which is often difficult to read exactly. If you contact me and tell me any of these records are important to you I will try to scan the item and send to you. As you can see below, I am struggling with reading the latinized hand writing. I think i am going to drop any language that looks like it relates to legitimacy as I have seen some genealogy ethics codes if not laws that say not to put that information out. Question marks are mine meaning I don't know for sure what I am seeing.

Way to go, Art. See, like some of the records that I have that are in Latin, you can pretty much figure out a lot of the words. Especially where the people were born. And lots of the first names are easy to figure out. Hang in there, it looks like a heck of a big job.
