Nils Johannessen was born in Sogn in 1791. I am trying to find his confirmation which should have been around 1806 or within a few years after that. I don't see that individual names are listed. I know that with others that names are listed however I don't recall in what district they were like that. I am assuming that some places and during some years the names were listed.

Am I correct that these names were not also listed. Just a number stating how many? Appreciate any one that could clear this up for me.

Do you know in what parish Niels was born?
Sogn is common name for the 12 municipalities surrounding Sognefjorden.

Thank you so much. I was looking at records that said communicant thinking that was the same as confirmation. I apologize for taking up your time on this.
