Hello everyone,
I have been unable to read some of the handwriting from a baptism entry from 1864. I was hoping someone with a better eye would be able to decipher what parts that I couldn't, or correct what I translated. The translation and photo are here:

I'm not sure of two names--I think they are "Blaso" and "Reina", but am also interested to know what the text reads in full.
The baptism is for Jose Maria Gonzalez, born on 7/7/1864 in La Villita de San Jose (La Villita), near Jalpa.
Hola todos,
No pude traducir una acta completamente (de 1864), y espero que alguen puede leer la acta. No tengo confiansa con dos nombres (Blaso y Reina), pero tambien quiero saber que dice lo demas de la acta.
La acta de bautismo es de Jose Maria Gonzalez, nacido en la Villita de San Jose, cercas de Jalpa, en Julio 11, 1864.
Gracias
Arturo

Below is a transcription and translation of your document. I'm not sure
about the names Rufa and Urcina; the other names are easy to read. Rufa is
probably short for Rufina, a common name, but I never heard the name Urcina.
I don't think it says Reina.

I would say that the names are Claro and Urcina.
Here's what I see:

I hope this helps.

Thank!
Rosa,
Thanks for this. I think you are right about the names and I think you got the translation dead-on. I'm just starting out and I'm only beginning to see how difficult it can be to read--not just locating--records.
