Is this a confirmation or birth record for Agnete Marie Jensdatter, please translate
So when I do a search of the digital record, it says her birth was 1797, and then at the bottom is says she was confirmed in 1797. There are asterisks on the farm name Fauske, and the birth year, and exclaimation points on the christening/baptism year.

Then I clicked on the "Show first page" and browse the record to see if it will clarify the transcribed record above. On page 480 half way down, I found Agnete Marie, father Jens Larssen, and mother Anne Pernille. Yet it looks like it says confirmed, so when is her birth? Because this is a huge problem if she was confirmed in 1797, that means she'd have been born in 1782 ish, and married in 1819. Having her last child in 1840. Maybe this is the wrong person. I'm looking for an Agnete Marie Jesdatter Fauske born in 1797. KGC2-BHT
Here is the scanned document https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/15985/191
Could someone please help me make sense of this. A complete translation might be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi #[anneelizabethlund1 anneelizabethlund1] ,
The word confirmed has different meanings depending on the context.
The entry reads:
No. 2, christened Jens Larssen Fauskes and wife Anne Pernille's, their home christened daughters christening confirmed (meaning the home christening was acknowledged but they were re-doing the christening in the church), the child's name Agnete Marie.
A home christening could be performed by anyone who had been confirmed (usually at 14 -15 years old) but the home christenings were usually re-done (validated, or confirmed) in the church at a later date.
