I have a Swedish Marriage Record that I am not able to determine the exact month on the record.

The marriage of Nils Persson & Marit Månsdotter were married in the year 1711, but I am unable to determine the month on the record. Can someone let me know? I will attach the record which is Image 252 - Digitized Record Number 004215142 in Family Search is attached. Thanks! Darren Boothrecord-image_ - 2020-10-25T060828.115

    This date is a Moveable Feast Day. It is written in Latin and says "D(omini)ca 25 p(ost) Trin(itatis)" which means "the 25th Sunday after Trinity". Some Feast Days are "moveable", meaning they occured on a different day each year-think "Easter". Fixed Feast Days occured on the same day each year-think "Christmas".

    See this article on Swedish Feast Days" https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Feast_Day_Calendars .

    First you need to determine the correct Feast Day, then find the year (in this case 1711) and look in the Feast Day Calendar for that year.

    Norm,

    Thank you again! I just learned a lot about the Feast Day Calendar. I had never heard of this before. Take care!
