    Baptismal record of Lars Kristoffersson
    Baptismal record of Lars Kristoffersson
    Lars Kristoffersson was born on the Bjørndalen farm, (Sigdal parish) and was baptized on November 7, 1790 in Holmen church, Sigdal parish. On the left hand side of the page, under the Holmen column, the 8th entry down states: "Dom. 23 post trinit v. :Festo Onium Horum? the 7th of Nov. (1790) baptized was Kristoffer Kjetilsson Bjørndalen`s "eie" male child `Lars`". It then states the names of the Godparents (sponsors) and gives a date of Dec. 5, 1790, this date meaning when Marit Larsdotter was "introduced" back into the Holmen congregation. (The "23 week after Trinity Sunday" equals Nov. 7.) The record also contains the Latin phrase "Festo Onium Horum" but meaning of this has not been determined. Two of the godparents mentioned are Reidar Kjetilsson Øverby and Jakob Kjetilsson Desarud.
