Transcription / Translation Confirmation record Soph Dor Mar Schroeder, born Marnitz, 1 Mar 1840

Please transcribe / translate the attached confirmation record (image 310) from Marnitz, Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

Record #14. (first entry on this image) The young woman is Sophie Dorothe Marie Schroeder. She's the daughter of Friedrich Schroder Budner and Zimmergesell. I don't know what the last word of the first line is.

Of particular interest is the second line which I am unable to decipher. Apparently she is going or has gone to North America with her parents.

If you look at the preceding image (309) there's a total of people confirmed at the bottom of the page. Record #14 on image 310 appears to be an add-on and there is a new total after her entry.

Was there a special confirmation because Sophie was leaving for America?

Thank you for your help.

Namen, Stand und Wohnort des Vaters: Friedrich Schroeder, Büdner und Zimmergesell hieselbst.

Translation:

Names of the child: Schroeder, Sophie Dorothe Marie

Place of birth: Marnitz

Year, month and day of birth: 1840 March 1

Names, status and place of residence of the father: Friedrich Schroeder, cottager and carpenter here.

The latter was confirmed on Ascension Day by permission of the Higher Church Authority dated 11 Apr [18]54 because she emigrates with her parents to N[orth] America

Comment:

Your assumption is correct. Sophie was confirmed separately on 25 May 1854 (Ascension Day) whereas the others were confirmed on 9 April 1854 (Palm Sunday). If you compare her birth year with the others on the previous page you will notice that she was about a year younger and would normally have been confirmed the following year.
