Hello All, Again I need to ask for your help please.

Entry No.8, Michael Benkmann aus Paterswalde and Chrietina Riemannin aus Lindendorf,

That is all of my reading, not sure what the "roman numbers" are, maybe their ages?

Regards, Jan

Hallo Jan,

not their ages.
They where "proclamiert" at 19. 20. 21. Dom. post trinitatis (sunday after Trinitatis)
and maried 20.October 1758

... not sure what the "roman numbers" are ...

Hi
the roman numbers are the sundays of the three proclamations before the marriage ("copulation")

.. wurden Dom
XIX, XX, XXI, post Trinit. procla-
miret und den 20ten Octob. 1758 copuliret


Dominica XIX post Trinitatis means the 19th sunday past Trinitatis-day

Hello Jan,

as for converting such "church calendar" dates to regular dates, you can use pages such as https://www.stilkunst.de/s311_ev_jahr.php?1758 which give the following dates for the 19th, 20th and 21st Sunday "post Trinitatis", "after Trinity Sunday" in 1758: 1.10./8.10./15.10.1758


Best regards,
Jérôme

Thankyou Everybody for your responses.

I guess a little bit like the reading of "banns" in the English churches?

Thanks, Jan

[Jérôme Landgräfe]

Hi Jan, yes, indeed, the "proclamation" (usually three times, sometimes less) took place before marriage, "copulation" and thus was the same as the reading of marriage banns.

Jérôme
