This looks like a standard baptism record.




In the Year of Our Lord 1887, on the 17th day of the month of April, in this church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Machang-Bubok, I, Sorin, M. Ap., solemnly baptized the legitimate son of Lam Fuk On and Virginia, born four days ago; the name "Justinus" was given to him. Mian An Vu(?) and his wife, Lam Charlotte, were named as his godparents. [Signed,] F. Sorin.




I'm having a bit of difficulty with the handwriting, so I'm not sure I got the priest's name right, and I'm not even able to make a good guess at the godfather's name: it's the first handwritten thing on the fifth line.

  • Makes sense like that. Actually, when the OP says "my great grandfather's name on the certificate is Lam Fuk On" I took it to mean the person being baptised, but I see it refers to the parent of the baby.

  • The fifth line seems to include the Latin words "fuerunt" and "ejus uxor": Lam Charlotte would be the wife of... err... Mian On Vu?, the godfather. Vero in the first line seems to me like a (stylistic?) connector that doesn't really need to be included in the translation, as sometimes happens with autem too.

  • the date of the event (17 of April of 1887), which was four days after the baby was born

  • the minister officiating the ceremony (Father F.P. Sorin, a French missionary priest, buried at St. Anne's Church, just a few miles away from the church where the baptism took place) (more info about the priest here)

  • the place (the extinct Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Machang Bubok)

    Isn't Lam Fuk On the name of the father? Specifically, the line looks like "filium legitimum Lam Fuk On et Virginiae"; my guess is both names are genitive, but "Lam Fuk On" is indeclinable.
