Hi

Is there anything in the column header that might give a clue? I've tried enlarging it as much as possible but am not able to make much out. The words might be abbreviated as there seems to be full stops after a few words...."In cat. s. ritt. Bapt. ?"

Sorry can't be of more help

Hello wildgoose

It looks like a Latin abbreviation:

In ext s ritt bapt explevi ritus

bapt must mean baptism
explevi means to complete
ritus means ceremony

A Latin scholar would probably be of more help
