Hello everyone,

Would someone be able to decipher the date of birth for my paternal grandfather Antonio?

I looked at it and it appears to be the 20th of March for birthday and 30th for his baptism. Does anyone agree/support this interpretation?

He is the one at the bottom left "No. 25 Antonio " and continues to the top left of the next page. 

Further, does 6-4-1963 interpret to 6th of April or 4th of June (his date of death on the left margin). 

Thanking everyone in advance

Luis Arruda

Luis A,

You are correct on the birth and baptism dates.

I believe only Americans write dates backwards. The rest of the world (and genealogical format) is from the smallest unit to the largest, so Day-Month-Year.
