Help needed translating Swedish birth record from 1769
I've asked a question about this birth record before. It appears to belong to the person I am trying to identify. I am looking for a woman named Brita Catrina (or Christina) Pehrsson born in Torekov parish on 9 April 1769. The parents' surname is hard to read. I'm guessing their first names are Olof and Anna Maija.
page 50 of this birth record book.

Can anyone translate more of this record for me? There appears to be a lot of information. If this birth record is for the right Brita Catrina Pehrsson, I'm surprised that her father's first name is Olof, rather than Pehr.
I cannot find any Household Exam records for Torekov parish before 1813, so I haven't been able to find any Household Exams during the period this woman would have lived at home with her parents. She married in 1795, so I've only been able to find Household Exams after 1813 mentioning a Brita Catrina Pehrsson, born on 9 April 1769, living with her husband and children.
I thank any and all who can help me "read" this record.

The record is quite difficult to read. It starts:
__? Flicko Barnet Brita Christina Olof Skipströms Doter är Barnföd i Torekov d 9 April af ächta föräldrar. fadren är Skieparen Olof Skipström och modren Anna Maija Skiepström är ___ döpt den 14 April
Translation:
The baby girl Brita Christina, daughter of Olof Skipström, is legitimately born in Torekov on 9 April. The father is the skipper(?) Olof Skipström and the mother Anna Maija Skipström. [The girl] was baptized on 14 April.
Then it goes on to name the male and female sponsors of the child.

If you check Torekov Cl:1 page 51, there is a Britta Catharina Pehrsdotter born 1769-11-18, parents: Pehr Michelsson and Lucia Påhlsdotter. Her father can't be named Olof since her surename would be Olofsdotter. A bit weird but I can't find a single record where she's called Pehrsdotter! it seems she used the name Pehrsson, see her wedding record as an example. Torekov B:1 page 450, married 1795

Brita Christina b:1769-04-09 died 1769-09-07, see Torekov Cl:1 page 329. I think her parents had another child also named Brita Christina b: 1771-01-10 as nr 3, see Torekov Cl:1 page 56, parents Olof Skeppström and Anna Maria Fröberg. She died 1848-03-04 in Torekov nr:1 named Britta Christina Lundsten when she died
