[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Catholic baptism noted in Gabin Evangelical Parish Register

[Cornelia Warner]

that's a good hypothesis, Worth,
I also have a single incident of a Catholic record noted in a Dutch Reformed 
parish register. in this instance it was a marriage, and I'll have to "screw 
my thinking cap on real tight" to remember what the rules were.
the Catholic church is not well thought of in the northern provinces of the 
Netherlands, and if you married in the Catholic church, you then were 
required to go through the process all over again in the Dutch Reformed 
church-so the marriage would be recognised. but there was something else, 
and that's eluding my memory. maybe someone else, on or off the list, will 
remember...

in regards to the baptism, not only health may be the reason, but parents of 
different faiths may have compromised and had the baby baptised in both 
faiths, or if there was strife in the region, perhaps they weren't sure when 
they could get to the church of choice? just some thoughts of why this may 
occur.
