    1. [SWEDEN] Catechism notations
    2. Sara Kidd via
    3. Can someone help me understand the different markings under the catechism headings for the household examinations? I've seen "a", "ab", "b", "c" - maybe there are others? Also, do the dates under the years indicate when they attended church or when they did their examination? Thank you!

The examinations column will have on date or just a mark for being present that year, the communion column one or more dates per year. // Bo Johansson
