      The author proves six evaluations of determinants of matrices \((a_{i,j})_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\). The entries of the first three ones are given by an extension of the Pascal triangle recurrence: \(a_{i,j}= a_{i-1,j}+ a_{i,j-1}+ xa_{i- 1,j-1}\), \(i,j\geq 1\), with various initial conditions. While the remaining ones are given respectively by \[ a_{i,j}= \begin{pmatrix} 2i+ 2j+ a\\ i\end{pmatrix}- \begin{pmatrix} 2i+ 2j+ a\\ i-1\end{pmatrix},\quad a_{i,j}= \begin{pmatrix} 2i+ 2j+ a\\ i+1\end{pmatrix}- \begin{pmatrix} 2i+ 2j+a\\ i\end{pmatrix}, \] \(a_{i,j}= (i-j){(X+ i+ j)!\over (Y+ i+ j)!}\), \(X\) and \(Y\) being arbitrary nonnegative integers.
