Skierki. This happened in the city of Przasnysz on the fourth/sixteenth day of November in the year one-thousand eight-hundred fifty-one at the hour of two in the afternoon. Stanisław Zygmuntowicz appeared, a farmer from Skierki, thirty years old, in the presence of Antoni Milewski, thirty-two years old, and Mateusz Kowaleski, sixty years old, both farmers from Skierki, and he showed us a male child born in Skierki yesterday at the hour of two at night of his wife Anna née Imielska, thirty-one years old. At Holy Baptism performed today, this child was given the name Marcin, and the Godparents were the afore-mentioned Antoni Milewski and Franciszka Niedzwiecka. This document was read aloud to the declarant and witnesses who are unable to write, and it was signed by us.
