Communion is the taking of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. In some Scandinavian countries and for some time periods, ministers would make name lists of those whom they'd served the sacrament to on any given Sunday. Normally, the entries would read, "Eric Persson and wife, mother, daughter" or "Olof Olsson's widow." Finding such an entry would help you establish the a person was in a certain place at a certain date, which is sometimes very necessary but would not provide much more information. | Communion is the taking of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
