Johan Olsen Birth Record Question
I'm trying to find the birth record for Johan or Johanne Olsen (LWYK-GYM), born in 1810, in Stange, Hedmark, Norway. In the Stange Parish register, I have found the attached record that might be the correct birth record for Johan.
Can you help me extract (translate) all of the information from this record?
Thank you!

Født d. 14de. Døbt d. 18de Marti.
Ole Johansen og Live Larsd[atter] ?Brønds? ei Søn, Johan.
[All the next names are witnesses]
So Ole Johansen and Live Larsdatter Brønds had their son Johan baptised 18. March.
The son's name would be Johan Olsen/Olesen.

Thank you very much.
So, does this mean that Johan Olsen was born on March 14th?
Is the mother's name Live Larsdatter?
Do you know what the "Brønds" refers to? Is it a farm name?

Yes Johan was born the 14th.
The mother's name is Live with the patronym Larsdatter and it seems "B......" is a place name used as a last name, since it doesn't say explicitly they are in/of B.....? currently.
EDIT: It is not easy to discern the priests handwriting and maybe the place name could be ?Brende?.
In fact Stange Sogn has Brende as a place name and we actually have in the census of 1801 a Lars Erichsen married to a Live Simensdatter living there [so could be parents of Live Larsdatter, even though they are a bit old].

In the Census 1801 it seems Live Larsdatter is a servant girl at "Raae Nordre".
We see her birth year is around 1781...she is listed as 20 years old.

So Lars Erichsen & Live Simensdatter from Brende are the parents of Live Larsdatter.
Baptism: 12. April 1781 Stange Prestegjeld.
Name: Live [Larsdatter].
Father: Lars Erichsen.
Mother: Live Larsdatter Brende. [So it is likely that Brende is just a location indicator and not used as a last name].
Witnesses: Ole Pedersen and wife; Ole Olsen and wife, Peder Christensen.
