Help please, transcribing.  On this left hand page of 162, all the baptisms show "Mod. Introd." or  "Mod. dj/udj/" (cannot read it)  at the end of each baptism.  The mother was introduced, or  she .... ?.     Many thanks.

Yes, ‹mother introduced›.

I don’t know if there was anything equivalent in the UK/US, but in Norway it meant that at a certain time after a childbirth the mother had to be ‹introduced› –  ‹lead back› so to speak, into the congregation by the vicar.

 

Needless to say – they don’t do that anymore 😉
