The citation as it was given

Supplied by , with the FamilySearch cards for the second entry's child. *** THE CONGREGATION IS NOT ASSUMED. *** Entry 2 baptises Elizabeth Susanna Johanna, born 3 May 1873, on 6 July 1873; FamilySearch GXFR-P4Z gives that child's christening as 6 July 1873 at PRINCE ALBERT.

It is one district's congregation on one opening, which is what 6's witness rules are built to read. NO PERSON ROWS HAVE BEEN CREATED FROM IT. The names are recorded here and matched deliberately, one at a time, because every surname on this page repeats in this district and 9 forbids matching on a name alone.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
