information on records

["Erlinda Castanon-Long" <longsjourney@...>]

Many times information was being given by other members of the party 
at the church who did not know who parents or grandparents were, 
especially if the people were deceased or the family had moved.

Mothers were never at baptisms since the custom was for her to stay in 
bed for 40 days.. that meant that someone else had to give her family 
info and they were often wrong if there had been a remarriage after 
the death of the first wife, her mother, for instance..
