Ipolynyék / Vinica birth/baptism records

FamilySearch is generally an excellent resource for Slovakia but now I simply cannot find the (1868, Roman Catholic) baptism records for Ipolynyék, Hont, Hungary (now Vinica, Slovakia). Is it missing/lost/not indexed or perhaps is available at some other site?

It's filed as Alsónyék:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1428814

However, there is no birth or baptism recorded on the date you have on the profile (9 Sep 1868): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9T97-ZDS?i=579&cc=1554443&cat=1428814

I browsed through the 1868 baptisms looking for Vincentius and didn't find one named Szpevák or anything like it, and the indexed baptisms between 1860 and 1880 don't turn him up, either. I'm wondering if he may have been Lutheran, but unfortunately FS only has the relevant Kiscsalomia register up to 1862 (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1428703).

Thanks, this was very helpful. I managed to find his profile. Well, none of the data were fully accurate. The birth date was a bit off (9 September is always suspicious and turned out to be 27 September), the name spelled as Spevák, transcribed as Speválz and the first name was Venceslaus (indexed as Veneslaus) which is Vencel more accurately but may have sounded too exotic so he was called Vince.

Now I am off to find the parents' wedding records...

I thought vaguely of checking for "V*", but ran out of time/energy. Glad you found him.
