Transcription and translation help

I am just starting my Danish great-great grandmother. I am struggling to transcribe this entry. Will someone transcribe it for me and then also translate it for me. I am especially wanting to know the transcription and translation for the godparents column.

You have done really well! Just a few additions and corrections.

Baptism: 24 March 1864 døbt i Kirken (baptised in the church).

Parents: Huuseier (house owner) Mads Jacobsen og h[u]str[u] (wife) Marie Kirstine Hansen, 37 Aar Gammel (37 years old) af (of/from) Akkerup. (The word "gamel" has a line over the "m" which doubles it to "gammel = old/aged".)

Godparents/sponsors: Pigen (Maiden) Ane Marie Jørgensen, Hmd (Huusmand = cottager) Hans Nielsens kone (wife), Hmd Rasmus Hansen, alle af Akkerup (all of/from Akkerup), og Hmd Jacob Madsen af Kjøng Mark (probably Køng Mark-a place in Køng parish).

The numbers in the last column (911 - 16), refer to the page and line number in the Jævnførelses register where this birth is recorded. Most of the time the Jævnførelses register doesn't include any other information than referring back to the original record (birth, confirmation, marriage, moving or death) but occasionally there is another record referenced. In this case, you are simply referred back to the birth record on page 301 of the birth book. You can see the Jævnførelses record here: https://arkivalieronline.rigsarkivet.dk/da/billedviser?bsid=456935#456935,81707473 .

You can see the family in the 1870 Denmark Census here: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid9232538 . The default tab is "Original" which gives an indexed version of the census. Click on the "Original Source" tab to see the original census record.

Hi Suzanne, Norm was very helpful in providing you with the transcription and translation help you were asking for. FamilySearch Community also provides numerous tools that you can utilize in your research. The FamilySearch Community Wiki is a great tool when doing your research. In your case, when you go into the Nordic Research Group and need to find information on your Danish ancestors, you will see that information on the countries listed below can be accessed by simply clicking on the country name (in Blue) and it will open the hyperlink to the Wiki for that country.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, and L Faroe Islands (Færøerne) (countries italic and in blue are hyperlinked to WIKI). The Wiki for each country opens a myriad of information regarding that country's genealogical research available. It is Guide to Denmark ancestry, family history and genealogy: parish registers, transcripts, census records, birth records, marriage records, and death records. As an example on the right hand side of the Denmark Wiki page, you will see "Denmark Wiki Topics" and one of the topics listed there is "Denmark Genealogical Word Lists" in both Danish and Latin. Opening the word list may help you with future words in your genealogical research and their meanings.

I would encourage you to play around in the Wiki and explore all it has to offer. Try clicking on Denmark in this post and watch the magic happen. Have fun exploring the Wiki.
