    To me, it looks like you would mark the date of birth blank since no actual DOB was given.

    The instructions say

    "When information for a field is not present, press Ctrl+B to mark the field blank."

    Since you are indexing adult baptisms - or at least non-infant baptisms - index the baptism but mark the field blank for the date of birth.

    Also, I think the 'c' means 'about'. We only type what is written, we don't calculate. It would be correct to mark the field blank, when the family finds the record they will see it the way it was written and draw their own conclusions.
