I have a copy of "Hitterdals Boken" but am having difficulty understanding references in some of the dates. For example: 1. Anne, dopt 1. S. e. Paaske 1725 Does this mean that Anne was baptized on the First Sunday after Passover, 1725? 2. Ole, dopt S. Sept. 1725 Does this mean Ole was baptised on Sunday 1725? 3. Simon, dopt 3. S. i Faste 1729 Simon baptised on the Third Sunday ? Fast? 1729. 4. Johannes, dopt 22. S. e. Trf. 1731 What is the 22 S. e. Trf 1731? Perhaps there a Church Calendar for these dates available online? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sonia Meyer Hacienda Heights, CA

Thanks for your responses--this is the best newsgroup! I saved both sites to "My Favorites", for future reference when entering my family dates into the database. Thanks again! Best regards, Sonia Gregerson Meyer
