Hi, I've been looking for the christening record for Christen Hansen born about 1789 in Slimminge, Gorslev parish, Praesto. I may have found it about half way down on the right side of the following AO image. It looks like the name Lars was crossed out and it looks like Christen written over that. The father was Hans H???? and I can't decipher the feast date.

Thanks for any help,

Hmm interesting... If I interpret this correctly, Hans the shoemaker fathered a son with Jens Mortensen's wife? Hundehuset appears to translate to "doghouse". Is this an expression like in English that means disapproval or shame?
Or was she just carrying the child for the christening?
Thanks for your help,

... well the mother of the child isn't mentioned. You might find the wedding of the couple - there she would be mentioned.
Jens Mortensens wife braught the infant to baptism - godmother.
I don't know if I read the 'Hundehuset' right. It might be the house where the estate kept it's hunting dogs.

The family is here in census 1801: https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid1783678
464 Hans Christiansen Mand 52 1749 Gift Mand Huusmand og Shoemaker
465 Ane Povelsdatter Kvinde 32 1769 Gift Hans kone
466 Christian Hansen Mand 12 1789 Ugift Deres barn
467 Karen Hansdatter Kvinde 9 1792 Ugift Deres barn
468 Kirsten Hansdatter Kvinde 6 1795 Ugift Deres barn
469 Else Marie Hansdatter Kvinde 3 1798 Ugift Deres barn
And I believe this might be the same persons in census 1787: https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid332171, although I don't understand why the surname is registered as Huitfeldt. But age and occupation and wife's name and age all fit.
395 Hans Huitfeldt Mand 38 1749 In 2nd marriage Mand Huusmand og shoemaker
396 Ane Poulsdatter Kvinde 18 1769 in 1st marriage Hans kone
Their marriage (or rather engagement= trolovelse) is here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17115565#150722,24997288, 22 Mar 1787. And on the right-hand side married 4th Sunday after Easter.
Thanks everyone for you efforts! I was tired last night and jumped to a wrong conclusion.
I've been trying to find more definitive documentation in the old parish records and pin down dates better.
I have his parents as Hans Chistiansen Gutfeldt (b abt 1748) and Ane Poulsdatter (b abt 1769, 2nd wife) from Slimminge.
Another of their children, Jørgen Hansen (b 13 Feb 1808) is my g-g-grandfather.
Thanks again,
Art
