Hi,

Having discovered that this message board really works and that there are helpful people out there, I'd like to ask again. Can anyone help me decipher the attached parish register birth/baptism entry? It is the bottom entry on the left hand column of the page.

I am fairly confident that it is for my ancestor, Johanne Sørensdatter, daughter of Anders Sørensen, but I cannot make out the name of the mother.

Unfortunately for me, it appears that there are no less than 4 different Anders Sørensens having children at the same time in Gødvad parish at the time of the birth.

Thank you VERY MUCH in advance.

Rick

Hi

Johanne Andersdatter
baptized 27 september 1805
Parents: Anders Sørensen and wife Ane Elisabeth

-----

At Johannes confirmation in 1820
(Gødvad,1814-1857.Opslag142)
her mother is Ane Elisabeth Sørensdatter, but
in the 1787 and 1801 censuses she is Ane Elisabeth Kristensdatter.
Sørensdatter is wrong.

Hi Flemming,

Again...THANK YOU! I'm in awe of your speed and ability. I read, write and speak 5 languages...but I struggle with the old Danish and German script sometimes.

I'm very appreciative of your fast and helpful responses!!!
