Latin term or phrase: A.C.
This is an abbreviation in a birth and baptism registry - all in Latin.
There are several entries on a page, with a number, a person's age. The year is 1879.
All entries start like this:
A.C. and then the date (e.g.) decima sexta Aprilis, or nona Aprilis and the hour of birth (but not the year).
The entry is for a specific year which is marked on the top. I cannot help to think that A.C. may refer to the year as well.
Note: This is from a Russian/Ukrainian record and so the A.C. would have no meaning in English. What I mean is that it is NOT an English abbreviation. I am rather sure it is in Latin.

Thank you for any suggestions.

anno currente / anni currentis
Explanation:
I share your feeling that it should somehow refer to the date at the top of the page. The source cited below has a.c. standing for 'anno currente'. I think this would do well: the current year at the time of writing the entry. I think it could be either ablative ('in the current year') or genitive ('on the XX day of XX of the current year'), but that really makes no difference.
