| Some parish records have a separate section for introductions, however, most can be found with the birth/christening records. The introdutions were done for the mothers of legitimate children only. The way back to church fellowship for mothers of illegitimate children was through the "absolutions"; as part of the church sermon, and where the women were expected to announce who the fathers of their illegitmate children were.

| | In the middle ages it was against the law to delay a christening of a child longer than absolutely necessary. The Norwegian law of 1687 states that the christening of a child must take place within 8 days of the birth. This law was abolished in 1771, but still in the 1800's children were usually christened 1 to 3 days after the birth. Since the general belief was that christening was necessary to obtain salvation, the clergy of the church early on gave permission to others to perform christenings. During the middle ages education was given on how a person was to perform the christening. Flexibility was given as to where a child should be christened, especially from year 1000 and later. The ideal place was the parish church, but in case of an emergancy it could be performed anywhere. |

| Dåp i kristendommen<br>Jesus døpte innstiftet den kristne dåp i og med dåpsbefalingen (Matt 28,16–20). Dåp er det første og grunnleggende sakrament i den kristne kirke; i misjonssammenheng er det alltid dåpen som er det avgjørende skillet mellom hedning og kristen. Senest fra 500-tallet ble dåp av barn vanlig. På 1500-tallet innførte de mest radikale kirkelige reformatorer voksendåp og gjorde den avhengig av personlig tilslutning til kirken; man krevde at den som var døpt som barn måtte døpes igjen som voksen (se gjendøpere). Døpemåten var opprinnelig hel eller nesten hel neddykking i vannet (immersjon), noe som fortsatt praktiseres i den ortodokse kirke. I Vesten var det vanlig å nøye seg med å øse vann over barnets hode (infusjon) i middelalderen. Det var først med kirkens utbredelse til de germanske land at navngivningen ble forbundet med dåpen. Fadder-institusjonen finner vi omtalt første gang hos kirkefaderen Tertullian (ca. 200), men den er sannsynligvis eldre. Fadderens oppgave er å være vitne til at dåpen er utført på rett måte, å understøtte kirkens arbeid med å oppdra barnet i kristen tro, samt å be for barnet.

| Dåp i Norge (Christening in Norway)<br>I middelalderen var det streng straff for å utsette barnets dåp lenger enn høyst nødvendig.'''I Norske Lov 1687 er fristen satt til 8 dager etter fødselen.''' Dette ble opphevet 1771, men ennå på 1800-tallet ble barna gjerne døpt 1–3 dager etter fødselen. Fordi dåp var regnet som nødvendig for å oppnå frelse, ble det tidlig tillatt andre enn geistlige å utføre den. I middelalderen spilte undervisningen om hvordan man skulle foreta den såkalte nød-dåp, stor rolle. Det var også fleksibilitet med hensyn til stedet for dåpen, særlig fra 1000-tallet av. Helst skulle den skje i sognekirken, men i nødsfall hvor som helst ellers.

| Etter at det ble åpnet for andre trossamfunn i Norge (Den første Dissenterloven fra 1845) gjelder dåpen som innmeldelse i et trossamfunn, f.eks. Den norske kirke. Mens ca. 96 % av nyfødte i 1960 ble døpt inn i Den norske kirke, var prosentandelen 78 i 2003, noe som utgjorde ca. 44 000 døpte.<br>
