Zambia, Archdiocese of Lusaka—Church Records, 1951–2019 [Part E2] [MQRK-NQJ]
I cannot make sense of the dates of birth in this record. Most of the dates seem to have 09 in common, but I can't tell if that's the month or the year. Judging by the title of the project I would think it's the month because 1909 is too early to be included in the 1951 -2019 bracket. Please help.

Using standard genealogy formatting and looking at the first entry for Christopher, the baptism date of 28/08/09 would be 28th day of the 8th month (Aug) 2009. The year would be 2009 using the project title as a guide.

Thank you. I figured it out after I sent my note. After doing work in Ireland in 1700's and the 1800's, I wasn't used to seeing records so recent as 2011 in Africa, but I eventually noticed the bracket of years for these records and understood. Thanks for responding so quickly.
