Birth Record

Please help me with the roles of two males in this birth record. Gløer Christensen Smidt is the father of Johan Petter and husband of Anne Olsdatter K2R1-SCF in FS. The source indexing in FS shows John Petersen as the father and husband. Can you clarify what the record says? Thanks.

What am I doing wrong? None of the URL I have tried will open. Used to be that we could upload images. What happened to that?

(links on their own line will be garbled; you need to replace all "%3A" by a colon ":")

This is an index of the birth record for Johan Petter in the Norwegian archives: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000006926051

The father is Gløer Christensen Smidt and the mother is Anne Olsdatter. John Pedersen is the person who "home-baptised" the child - he is not the father. The "home-baptism" date is not given in the record, but the "home-baptism" was confirmed in the church on 21 January 1816 (3. søndag etter Hellig Tre Kongers Dag = 3rd sunday after Holy Three Kings Day). See the Moveable Feast Day Calendar for Norway here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Norway%3A_Moveable_Feast_Days_in_1816 . The birth occurred on 29 December 1815.
