Hear it read In this 1805 entry, what does "Baptizavi Infantes Gemellos" tell you about Anna and Ursula?
They were the godmothers They were sisters born in different years They were twins, baptized together They were illegitimate children
Correct
Not quite "Gemelli" (here "gemellos") means twins, and "infantes" is the plural of infant: "I baptized twin infants". The entry then gives each one her own godparents: "Patrini fuere infantis cui nomen impositum est Anna" (the godparents of the infant who was given the name Anna were...) and then the same for Ursula. Both names also stand in the margin, where indexers look first. "Ex legitimo conjugio" means the parents were lawfully married.
