Hi
Levans is the godfather who held the child over the baptismal font
and Ass. - Assistens are the assistants, one or two who helped him
take a Latin dictionary as well, until 1803 they did not use much German in the catholic vital records

Don,
Thank you so much for the information. It sounds like
I need to find the Damme microfilm at the FHC. The
problem is that it is going to be in German and hard
to read. But I have the same problem here with some
of the old church files.
I have a question. Do you know what the "Levans" and
the "As?" means? I don't have a clue.
Thank you for your help.
