Hi there, this record was indexed with just the father's name. Can you help me read it? I've got the day and that the child's name is Soren and the father's name is Rasmus Skoufoged and the Christening was 8 July 1781. I'd like to know the places the parents are from. Is the mother Elizabeth Pedersdatter? I see the place, maybe, Svenstrup? It looks far from Soby, so I'm not sure.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

    "4th Sunday after Trinity had (baptized) Rasmus Skoufoged in Svenstrup a Son in the church called Søren, held at the font by Elisabeth Pedersdatter in Svenstrup. The godparents/christening witnesses were: forest ranger Degner, Mathias Sommer, Bernt Noer in Svenstrup and Jens Just's wife in Hedehusene."

    Hedehusene and Svenstrup are places (farms or villages) in Søby parish, Skanderborg county, Denmark. See FS Wiki here (under "Place Names"): https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/S%C3%B8by_Parish,_Skanderborg,_Denmark_Genealogy

    I should have mentioned that the mother is not Elisabeth Pedersdatter-she just held the child for the christening.
