This baby was conceived by the mother Salomeia Klakowka (Klak), 30 years old and by the father Wojciech Praski, a tenant farmer (or beggar), 30 years old and residing in Truskolasy. This declaration and presentation of the baby took place i the presence of Piotr Krawczyk, a tenant farmer (or beggar), 30 years old a resident of Truskolasy and Jan Pawelak a farmer residing on his farm in Truskolasy. Then this document was read to the person reporting the birth and because they were illiterate was signed only by me.

(no mention of baptism - this was a Civil record according to the early Napoleonic format)
