Trying to locate birth record for Dorte Mortensdatter

[Linda Michelle Thérèsa de Bodt Rosenland]

Hello,

According to Census records Dorte Mortensdatter was born around 1795-1796 in Harte, Brusk, Vejle, Denmark.  I believe she married Mads Sørensen Vad 24 Apr 1818 in the Harte church but it is recorded in the Bramdrup parish records?

Marriage #9 here: [urlhttps://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=160448#160448,26967284[/url]

I searched the Confirmation books hoping to locate a birth date or a father's name without luck (Harte and Bramdrup Confirmations are in the same book for 1800-1815) but my vision is not great so I might have missed her.  I found the confirmation for Mads.

Any ideas where to look for her birth record?  I have had no luck finding the birth records for their children either.

Thanks so much Lisa!  I saw that record but assumed the parent's names were at the beginning and could not even decipher those so thought it was not the right one.  Now that I look at the record again, I can see her parents' names near the bottom.  The challenge I have is why can I not find her in the Census records, in Brusk, at all?  You would think her father or mother would at least be there.  Also, are you able to read the place name where she was born?  It looks like Stubdnup and I cannot navigate Krabsens since they changed their site.

The birth place is Stubdrup, within Harte parish.

Krabsens Stednavnebase changed (this week?!) and I've only used it twice, so I'm not sure, but from the main page, click on Gå til databasen, then either enter Stubd in the stednavn field to see all the place names starting with those letters, or enter Harte in the sogn field to see all the place names in Harte sogn.

The mother Maren Jacobsdatter was in Hammelev, Gram herred, Haderslev amt, before the birth, so perhaps they went back there, or to where the father was (he was in the military, somewhere).

mvh

Thanks Lisa.  I tried Krabsens again and now it is easier to navigate.  For some reason I kept getting strange code popups each time I tried to enter a name.
