Dutch Reformed?
Does this say this is from a Dutch Reformed church and not Catholic? Also what are the words that appear before the time ranges?
THANKS!

I can't really tell from the record the way it shows up when I click on the link. but in Winterswijk, Gelderland, the Catholic records don't begin until 1770, and the "Doopsgezinde [Anabaptists] don't christen little children. So it must be the Dutch Reformed parish. The record format suggests that as well.
The extracted entry says that the entry sought is the 20th entry on the page
place Winterswijk
then the child, parents, and godparents are listed . Parish is Winterswijk. The Toegangsnummer and Imventarisnummer refer to the archival call number of the record. This is followed by the page number. In this case the image number equals "page number + 1", so in the box on the top left type in 127 and on the page that comes up this child is the last baptism entry on Feb 16th.

I thought the link I put would take you straight to the page I was referring to. This is my fault for not making that clear. I was referring to the information given on the very first page of this register. If you go to p.1 you will see a title page. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Page 1 confirms what Baerbel wrote, that it is a Dutch Reformed parish. The words before the year ranges are, in order:
a. Baptisms
b. Marriages
c. Deaths
The first two words are compound words, a combination of doop (baptism) or trouw (marriage) and inschrijvingen (registers). The third word is overledenen (deaths).

I would say yes, Dutch Reformed, even tough it says Nederduitsch. The more modern term would be Nederlands Hervormd or Gereformeerd.
