I'm looking at the birth/christening  record for Inger Maria Brick in Bjolderup parish 19 Jan 1787 (1787 #2).
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17216091#201033,38069705
Was the January 19 christening date in column 3 a home christening?  It appears to have been a Friday.
Is the date IV p. Epiphany (28 Jan) later in the entry the in church christening?

Thanks for any help,

19 Jan 1787 was a thursday

The text states: hiemme døbt = home christening
The child was presented to the congregation in church on sunday IV after Epiphany = jan 29

Hmm, FamilySeach's Danish feast day calendar puts the 4th Sunday after Epiphany as Jan. 28.  A 1787 calendar from online sources agrees with that and shows the 19th as a Friday.  In 1786 it was on the 29th.

Of course you are right - I jumped from the 'normal year' into the exception 'leap year'

No problem!  I really appreciate all you helpers.  I just wanted to make sure I was thinking right and that the online resources I use are correct.
