Thanks Ralph. I do have a question. I have never seen the term 'lodging with' used in connection with a birth or confirmation. Is this unusual? does it have any special significance?

I appreciate all the work you put in on my behalf.

I rendered 'hos', literally 'with', as lodging with.  It may be a variant on 'tjenende', serving.
