Help Reading Church Register

[Michael Mortensen]

Can someone help with the reading for the birth/baptism of Herda Hedevig Astrid Mortensen as recorded in the register for Skt Jakob Church Copenhagen (1878-91), Opslag 30, Nr 1. I especially want to know her date of birth, and date of baptism.
Tak

Hi Michael,

The mother was born Nielsen.

And the address in 1880 was also Lægefor. Bol. (Lægeforeningens Boliger). Here is a link: http://www.dac.dk/visKanonVaerk.asp?artikelID=2564

Hi Michael,

Do you ever read the answers you get on this forum? You never seem to respond to any!!

My appologies for not replying. I did read your message and appreciated the links to the photos of the address for Peter Mortensen. Since I don't know Danish I find this new site a bit of a challenge. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. I continue to search the Skt Jakob church books for more information about Peter and Laurine's children. So far I've found one daughter who got married and hopefully that will lead me to information about the birth of any children.
Thanks again for your help.
