Help with Danish christening record

This is an instance when no name is given for the child's father. It appears he was born out of wedlock, and most of the information I can make out. But there are some notations in the last column that I can't figure out. Can anyone tell me what it says, I'm hoping it will give some indication of this child's status. Thanks!

It's for George Emil Rasmussen, his mother being Jacobine Rasmussen.

    I can't make out the first word in that last column, but the rest of it says "... før fødselen i Bagg..gade 13," that is ".. before birth at Bagg.. street 13."

    So I think it is just a notation that the mother was living at a different place before the birth than her current residence of Blaagaardsgata 7.

    Unfortunately there is nothing in this record to hint who the father might have been.

    Thank you! I thought it probably wasn't helpful, but just couldn't get it out of my mind. Two years later this child's mother, Jakobine, marries and has 2 children. There is a photo of her with her 2 children, but this son is nowhere to be seen. I'd guess he either died or was adopted out??? Any suggestions of where to go next would be greatly appreciated. I don't think I can have him sealed to his mother without a father.

    Have you tried the following Community - Nordic Countries Genealogy Research.

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/137-nordic-countries-genealogy-research

    There several links at this community to help with reading the information you want.

    I understand your frustration as I have Danish ancestors, also and reading Danish is not my strong suit. I hope you will be able to help in this group.

    Thank you for posting in the community.

    Census records from Denmark may help you with your research. After you have found all that you can about this child, you may want to ask the question about sealing him to his mother in the Community under Temple.

    I feel confident that someone can answer your question there.

    Best wishes for continued success with all your family history pursuits.
