Not all the records are that way. I admit I did use shortcuts as it was late and I was tired.. but 9/3 and 9/6 were Sept 3 and Sept 6 as it appears on the record. Also the copy I have is really small (so I could fit all the info on the page) so it makes it harder to read. As for the minister.. nope it doesn't give that information. I type what I see in the entries.. I only can't type in what I can't read.. if I can sorta figure it out I'll try and guess but I'll note that as well. I've found that there is no standardization to the records, they are written in whatever format the recorder chose to use. Anyone that has any questions about it may email me. > > regards, > > Maureen Kuzyk > Looking for information on: O.C.H.I.L.T.R.E.E, M.c.C.r.i.g.h.t, G.r.e.g.o.r.y, B.i.s.h.o.p, M.c.I.n.t.y.r.e, L.e.n.n.o.x, G.o.r.d.o.n, T.u.r.n.e.r and L.e.i.t.h.
