Hi - in my research, I've found 2 separate parish registers that are missing confirmations completely for the years about 1684-1699. There is an entry at the top of the page for 1684 and the next entry on the page is 1699. The villages are Niedergemünden and Burg-gemünden. Can anyone suggest a reason? There are ministers in the village at this time and all other services are performed. Thanks, Anita

Confirmations are performed by the Bishop. Maybe there was some "lack of Bishop problem". ----- Original Message ----- From: anitagriffith@canada.com To: HESSE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 6:08 PM Subject: [HESSE] confirmations circa 1684-1699 Hi - in my research, I've found 2 separate parish registers that are missing confirmations completely for the years about 1684-1699.
