Thanks, Bo, for your help. At least I know I am looking in the right places. Two younger sisters were recorded in 1812-1823. I did find an HFL about 10 years later that listed children born before 1812 that died as infants. Maybe a later priest tried to clean up the work of a previous one or something.
