Long shot: Danish writing from 1816

[mijath]

Does anyone speak Danish?! This record is from a list of 'free coloured' people in the Danish West Indies in 1816.

The first two images are column headings and the third image is some text from one of those columns.

I think the text explains how the people concerned came to be freed from slavery.

Thank you for any assistance!

Hi,

Maybe you could PM Ian (jamcat95) - I think he speaks Danish. He is very active on the "Europe" board.

Best regards,
Karen

Hi mijath

I'll give it a go.
Do you have the link to the record please.

I don't speak Danish but Swedish and can read Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.

Very difficult to decipher. I couldn't make it all out unfortunately.

Here are the headings anyway:

Christening number
Males from 16 to 60 years
Males under 16 and over 60 - ? also women and children
Age
Birth place
Religion
Handling

I can't make out very much, but I think the last note says the children whose surname looks like Ewers are Peggy Montgomerie's children.

The next text I think says:

"free children of wife Muhlenfells dated 28 Feb 1806"
