This 1861 baptismal register contains a note that the babies were twins.

This 1861 baptismal register contains an entry for two individuals who were twins. Most of the entry appears to have been in the same handwriting–likely of the pastor at the time. There’s a notation in English apparently made by a separate person. My transcription of this record should include the “twin” reference and make it clear that it was done separately from the original record.

If it is suspected that parts of a document were written by a different person or at a different point in time, that should be noted in any transcriptions made by include a note in brackets.
