FamilySearch has indexed this record so that it appears my ggg grandmother had a child with her husband's brother. I don't think it says that! But these things happen.. There is also a correct version of the christening attached to the correct Ole 1789. I would like to fix this situation.

The bad record is "Norway Baptisms, 1634-1927", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NW3Z-J43 : 23 June 2020), Christen, 1789.

The original: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/16618/85 bottom right, third entry from the bottom. Septuagesima, 1789.

Ole Olsen Botnet and Karen Jensdatter are married, parents of barn Ole. Else Joensdatter and Hans Olsen Botnet are his brother and wife. There is no Christen here I can see.

Thank you all again!

Edit: Looking again, is this a twin birth?

    Your are correct that this is the birth of twins-Ole and Christen.

    Translated it is as follows:

    Confirmed the following twins' baptism |1| named Ole, born the 31st of January and home-baptized by the midwife Else Joensdotter. Father Ole Olsson Botnet, mother Karen Jensdotter. Witnesses: Hans Andersson Saxenvig, Hans Olssson Botnet, Nils Olsson of the same place (Botnet), Ane Olsdotter Langsæt, Ane Monsdotter Næs and the brother

    Baptized |2| named Christen-Witnesses: Lars Christensson Langsæt, Ole Jensson Dværsæt, Mons Olsson of the same place (Dværsæt), Maren Olsdotter Saxenvig, Bereth Jensdotter of the same place (Saxenvig).

    Thank you. I wasn't sure I was seeing "twilling" there. Perhaps "jord mor" was indexed as mor?
