[Note from JensenJN: Bærkone (Carry woman) I have never seen that word before, but from the name context there is no doub t that this is the lady, who carried the child to the christening.]
[Comment from Jensen JN: ???ejer It seems to read “Stæleejer” and except for the ending “ejer”,
which means “owner”, the word makes no sense to me.]
[Comment from JensenJN: 1ste ???gaard. I cannot decide if it reads Stormgaard or Strandgaard
I will investigate this tomorrow by looking up an old map]

Interesting:
- Here we see Annine’s full name — Annine Margrethe Christine Jensen. Love it!
- She was also vaccinated (for small pox) by Zahrtmann, like her brother, and parents. I believe him to be the local doctor.
- In this record and in her brother Laurits’ Christening record Christine’s name is listed as Claudina Christine.
