Hi all,
I am trying to work out the full wording on the Birth record of Kiersten JENSDATTER, 24 Sep 1809, in Vestero Parish, Laeso Island. Hjorring County, Denmark. The basic facts are transcribed on Family Search, here:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYFW-58QThe original record is here, side 2 and 2nd up from bottom.
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?epid=17127956#172035,28883987Parents: Jens CHRISTENSEN and Margrethe ANDERSDATTER.
The mother, Margrethe ANDERSDATTER (sometimes as ANDERSDATTER GAARN), my 4xGt-Gm, died June 1816 and her subsequent probate named her surviving children/heirs. The youngest, Kiersten was described as: KIRSTEN JENSDATTER 6 år. født udef. ægteskab - which I believe says she was: age 6, born outside of marriage.
Margrethe's late husband Claus whom she had married 1793, died before her and his probate was issued 1815 - but I've never found his death/burial record. I believe he probably died while away from the island at sea - he was a "Matros og Jordbrugere" (Sailor / Farmer).
(edited): Rather belatedly, I've wondered if Kiersten's birth dates him having died before 1809 - the spanner in that works is that his mother died 1814, and her Probate referred to him as being "borte fra øen" (away from the Island).
I'm curious as to the full wording of Kiersten's birth
Many thanks for all assistance!
Cheers
