Kristie, No, a birth date is the day the baby was born. The baptism date is the day the baby was baptized into the Catholic Church. Some babies are born and baptized the same day. Most are baptized days to a couple of weeks after they are born.
The 3rd and 2nd time periods give both birth and baptism dates. The earlier you go into the 1st time period, the more likely you are to see just the baptism date.
