Help with Birth Record, Denmark
I need some help with translation of this church record. I think it's my ggg-grandmother Nille Marie Hansdatter/Anderson - 12 March 1809 in Vestermarie, Bornholm. I think can make out the father's name (Hans Anderson), but I'm not sure if there is a mother noted... or if there are baptism witnesses or any meaningful remarks. I don't even know what all the handwritten column headings are! Is March 12 her date of birth or would that have been a couple days earlier? Thank you all, it would mean SO MUCH to me and my dad!

This book is keeping track of all the important vital records in the parish. The column headings record the date of:
Column 1-the baptism/christening date of the child who is recorded in the entry.
Column 2-the engagement date of the couple in the entry.
Column 3- the marriage date of the couple in the entry.
Column 4-the burial date of the individual in the entry.
The christening date was 12 March, so the birth date would have been the same day or earlier. You are correct that the father is Hans Andersen. The child is Nille Marie. The mother's name is not mentioned. The rest of the names are the people who were at the christening and their residences.
