David Grawrock Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 On this parish record the serial number is duplicated with an 26a and 26b. The children aren't twins and have very different parents. Is this just a case of the priest reusing the number and then adding the a/b to differentiate between the two? https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/7621/451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar S. Ertesvåg Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 There is no obvious reason for the duplication. My guess is that the clergy inadvertently used the number 26 twice, and when noticing it, he chose to use a and b rather than renumbering all the subsequent entries.

Matthias Kolberg Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I think Ivar is right. 26 a and b is only used in the copy of the ministerial book. In the original, official ministerial book, the two baptism are listed on separate pages without a or b. Skedsmo prestekontor Kirkebøker, SAO/A-10033a/F/Fa/L0011: Ministerialbok nr. I 11, 1866-1876, s. 105 Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20060911060394 https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20060911060395 The error was probably first detected when the copy was made, and a and b were added.

David Grawrock Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 It's what I thought too, just a numbering error, but wanted to check and see I was missing something. Thank you for the thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
