I came across this phrase in the baptism record for my great3grandmother who was baptized in Forbach 13 December 1796. "nata fuit circa horam secundam matutinam." Am I correct in assuming that this means something like she "was born around two in the morning?" Thanks much. Christopher Barttels Dayton, WA
