After making the above statement and showing Us the child, in the presence of Wincenty Bartołd, twenty-three years of age, and Ignacy Bartołd, thirty years of age, residing in Klonowo.

Wojciech Chodkowski was my 2nd cousin 4X removed.
This record (No 22) begins with the words “Under the same record”, meaning that this baptism occurred on the same day as the baptism recorded directly above . For that reason, I have included the first two lines of the previous record to provide the information that is the same for both baptisms.
