Hi - I have 2 questions: 1. Could a Lutheran get married during Lent in 1691? I think the marriage was 3 Apr and Easter that year was 12 Apr. The marriage date is given as a feast day and the spelling of the day is cut off - it could be several different days. It seems that the minister at that time gave feast days during Lent and Advent, and regular dates the rest of the year. Would the minster list feast days during Epiphany? 2. I have a lot of intermarrying on one branch of my tree and I'm trying to sort them out. Would parents name daughters born 9 years apart (1745 & 1754) the same name when the older was still living? I can't find a second marriage for the father in between the two. Both girls have different godmothers. There is a third daughter born 1757. There don't appear to be any other children between children 1 & 2. There is only one man in the village with the father's name, so I don't think it's 2 different fathers. Does anyone have any advice on sorting out these sorts of complicated relationships? I appreciate any help or advice anyone has. Thanks, Anita in Ontario, Canada
