What will you do if you don't have a record of baptismal in the church where you baptized?
If you are catholic, you will need a record to receive first communion, confirmation, and marriage sacraments. The church where you were baptized should have it, but if no longer there, the receiving church should have it. If not, you will need an affidavit from a witness (parent, godparent) who can attest to the baptism. If no witness, you may need a conditional baptism. If you are not catholic, you will need a record to be married in the catholic church to a catholic party. Int his case, if no record is available, or no witness, a declaration of nullity form is used where baptism is in question; this can be approved by the bishop if no other impediments exist.

What is Christian confirmation?
Confirmation is one of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The Code of Canon Law provides a helpful definition:* Can. 879 The sacrament of Confirmation confers a character. By it the baptized continue their path of christian initiation. They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and are more closely linked to the Church. They are made strong and more firmly obliged by word and deed to witness to Christ and to spread and defend the faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is helpful as well:* 1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.89 For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."90 For more on the Sacrament of Confirmation, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 1285-1321.
