Help reading the names in a Swedish birth record

I am looking for a birth record for Cherstin (or Kerstin) Hansdotter, born 9 January 1730 in Stora Skedvi, in the village or farm called Tyskbo.

FamilySearch has her parents listed as Jons or Hans Mattsson and Margetha Johansdotter.

I think I have found it, but the beautiful cursive handwriting is hard for me to read. Is there someone with the ability to read/translate Old Gothic handwriting who can tell me if this is the right birth record for the Cherstin Hansdotter I'm looking for?

I found her birth record on both FamilySearch and ArkivDigital:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GY9S-JBP?lang=en&i=128

https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v131841?image=125

Thank you,

Julia

    Hi!
    My reading skills are not that good so I started in the other end, when she died!, She died 1810-04-05 in Tyskbo, Stora Skedvi, Dalarna. Her parents was Hans Mattsson b 1702 and Margareta b 1694
    As far as I can tell she lived her whole live in Tyskbo. However, I can't find her in Tyskby, Stora Skedvi Al:2 page 133 and forward. She should be there along with her parents. I've found her in all other books til she dies

    You may want to add this Household Examination record to Sources for this family in FamilySearch Tree: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0013832_00176#?xywh=-109%2C503%2C3304%2C1541&cv=175 . It is the first HE record that Kiersten (spelled Kerstin here) appears in. It also shows her parents and grandparents as well as 2 sisters and a brother.
