Baptismal Record of Jean Amilcar

A copy of the baptismal record from the parish church of Versailles of the child Jean Amilcar from Senegal who was adopted by Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. From Louis de Bourbon et la famille Royale de France: "Louis XVI has always felt great compassion for his people. With Marie-Antoinette, they even collected and adopted several children including Jean Amilcar, born in 1782 in Senegal and mentioned on 20 August 1787 on the register of baptisms of Versailles."
