Census details questions
I found this 1860 census on Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/1542387:61772):
I can see that this is the family of Janke Andresen; his wife Anna Catharina Boisen, and children Jens Bernhard and Margreth.
My questions are: What is the information about Janke written in the last two columns? And what is the relationship between the family and Christiane Andresen (42) and Margreth?
Thanks in advance!

For Janke, the last column reads "Küster und Schullehrer, Hausvater" which means sexton and school teacher, head of household. Christiane is his sister, Margrethe is a foster child.
The column headers are written in Danish, so I'm not sure what it's saying for the column before the relationships - maybe birthplace?

Does the position of Margrethe in the census suggest that she is the foster child of Christiane?

Sorry, I should have added the entire description, which says she is the foster child of the head of household.
