[#12757] Christening records from Oslo Domkirke....

[Gjest Pearl Danroth]

I have found an error in some information that I received a long time ago. The christening date for my grandmother must be wrong, as the following information states that the christening took place before the birth. Can anyone help straighten this out? I am almost 100% certain the birth date is correct. Here is the christening information:Oslo Domkirke Church records: Mini 15, page 86 no. 152 - Born May 11, christening April 6, 1858. Nicoline Antonette Eugenia. Parents: Laborer Andreas Johnsen Westby and his wife Marthe Oline Christiansdatter. No address or ages are mentioned. The witnesses were hard to read, but some of them are: Søren Holt (merchant), Biørn Ellingsen, Carpenter M..?.. and unmarried girl Anne Johannesdatter.Thanks, Pearl
