Holy Cow! I just found my grandfather had a half sister he didn't know about!!! Would someone please translate the entire churchbook entry for a daughter born to Niels Hansen and Marie Lauritzen. Marie died in 1871 and Niels immigrated to the US in 1873 without a daughter. Please translate the entire entry.. I see the name of his older sister listed as the first witness. Thank you so much, I can hardly wait until I get a response. :D Claude
Karen Marie Hansen born 16 june 1869, Baptised at home 21 june 1869 and in the church 16 august 1869.
Lodger (in a room on a farm) Niels Hansen and wife Marie Lauritzen (21½ years old) in Jernvedlund.
Carried forward by the girl Andrea Hansen on Døstrup?. Witnesses: ?? ?? (looks like house wife) Johanne Marie Pedersen in Jernvedlund, farmwife Birthe Christine Høier in Plougstrup?. Farmer Andreas Nielsen Schmidt and house owner Peder Hansen both in Jernvedlund.
Trine! I had a lot of it figured out.... but, figured about the baptism in the church. Also, I only recognized Andrea Hansen, Niels' sister as the godmother. Thanks so much for your help. Claude
