If you look close at the Churchbook, you will see that the Christening date almost looks like 20 instead of 26. So therefore, it would be easy if someone was not aware of which date was which and would think that his birthdate was October 20, 1823. I still have not gotten an answer as to what Roy's source is for the birthdate and the father's name. Margit Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
