Hi

I'm having trouble reading a baptism and would appreciate a translation please. It's found in Vestervig-Agger 1697-1728, ops 20, 3rd one down on the right side, 3 March 1728.

Thank you

Hi Ralph

Sorry I got the name twisted.

I'm trying to figure out if this child is Christen Hansen. I've done everything except stand on my head to read the father's first name and I just can't get it. The record is in pretty bad shape. I'll scour the church book to see if I can find anything clearer. Hopefully the couple had other children or perhaps I can find the father's death record.

Thank you so much for your help. As always, it's greatly appreciated :)

Regards

Pam
