The answer chosen... ... may or may not be correct. Context is entirely lacking, and context is everything. I agree with Toni Castano. I have my doubts about this translation.

Acknowledgment of Deeds

ACKNOWLEDGMENT, conveyancing. The act of the grantor going before a competent officer, and declaring the instrument to be his act or deed, and desiring the same to be recorded as such. The certificate of the officer on the instrument, that such a declaration has been made to him, is also called an acknowledgment. The acknowledgment or due proof of the instrument by witnesses, must be made before it can be put upon record.

(I thought I had added the following in Definition, but here you go)
Acknowledgement Of Deeds

An acknowledgment is the act of declaring the execution of an instrument, but the word also denotes the official certificate of such declaration. All deeds and conveyances of land to be effectual as to third parties must be recorded upon previous proof or acknowledgment of their execution.

Example sentence:

Commissioners appointed by the governor, residing in either of the United States or of the District of Columbia, are also authorized to take acknowledgment of deeds.

Acknowledgments are taken from signers of documents such as deeds, contracts and powers of attorney.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Toni Castano : Please see my note above. // What I basically said with my note, now deleted, is that I very much doubt that this translation really reflects what the original seems to mean. // I never disrespected you, just expressed my doubts about your translation.

disagree AllegroTrans : I also posted a comment which was deleted. For one thing your suggestion doesn't make much sense and secondly we don't really have enough context, e.g. what is before and after this sentence and where in the birth certificate it appears.
