Can anyone translate this 1842 Ohio Irish Catholic Record in Latin?

Question

Hi all,

I've got a record that I believe concerns an ancestor of mine.

However, I'm thinking it's written in Latin and I'm not entirely sure what it says.

Can anyone decipher it (record in question is outlined in red).

Answer 1

My Latin is so so, but it appears to be October 29, 1930 I think, by me, (E.J.Collins) baptism of Helen, legitimate daughter of Cornelius Cronin and Bridget O'Brien, married.  Godparent Margaret Tobin.

Hope this helps a bit.

Looks good except the date, Pamela. Not 1930 :-)

My try would be:

• Die 30^a = Die tricesima = 30th day
• ego baptizavi = I baptised

---

I agree with this translation except for the date, it was  October 30 1842 (The October and 1842 are on the top of the page and Die 30 by the text means the 30th day -as said above)

Answer 2

Thank you both for the reply and translation. I appreciate your help!
