Well we have completed our first week of training and it sure was hard. We have to read images like the pictures above that were written in 1892 by a priest in the Luthern Church at a parrish in Denmark. It was surprising how fast we learned to pick up certain phrases and words while studying our manual and looking at the microfische films.
We are extracting christenings and you have to pick up the name of the child, sex of the child (it does not tell you and you have to go by the name and hope that you have not made a boy a girl or visa verse), the father and mother's names and the date the christening took place. Sometimes the writing is rather clear and you can see the name and other times it is awful and you have to go to another machine and look up what the name might be. Sure hope that the spirits in heaven have a sence of humor as they receive a new name that is similar to the one they were given on earth. We have been told that all things will be corrected in the heavens. Thank Heavens for that!!!
It is fun to go work on the extractions and I feel the spirits there with me as I try to decipher the info that needs to be extracted. This is going to be a fun calling for us.
