Help with Danish christening record
I would love help understanding this christening record, it's the one of the top left. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-9944-FS9J?i=104&cc=2078555&cat=113551
This is from Hjaardemal parish, Thisted county, Denmark. I can read that Niels Boesen of Klit had a son that was named Peder. I think it says that Maren Christensdatter Svang? from Thorup carried the baby. Then there's some other text there that I can't read, it has a name Kirsten underlined, maybe another child? Help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe the woman who carried the baby is Maren Christensdatter Prang. The 1787 Danish census lists several Prang surnames in Thisted County, but no one with the name of Svang. The other text names witnesses of the baptism/christening and I can't read them either.
The name, Kirsten, that appears to be underlined is only accidentally underlined. The writer of the record was making a wavy vertical line to the left of each entry on this page and then cutting the line to the right at the end of the entry. This just happened to underline the name Kirsten who is one of the witnesses.

Thanks for your input. I'm glad I'm not the only one having difficulty reading this.
