Hi
Thank you Falk. I appreciate the help. I have found
the church records in St. Louis to be sometimes in
Latin and sometimes in German. It makes for
interesting reading. I took four years of Latin eons
ago. I'm afraid that I didn't retain much of it.
Anyway, thank you again.

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.
