Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 72 Send Message	Hello. I've come across an 1884 baptism certificate and most of it is in Latin. I've managed to work out what most of it reads, but I'm stuck on a couple of words. Patrinus fuit Matrinus fuit There are names after each entry so I'm assuming that it's something like godparent? Or maybe not. Does anyone hear read Latin Thanks Heather :o)
