Is this the death record of a daughter or a son?

I just found this record of a death (stillbirth) in 1761. It is the child of Jens Sorensen and Kirsten Andersdatter.

I can't tell whether the child was a daughter or a son. Is that extra little squiggle at the end of dodfodt, the clue?

Thanks in advance,

Kari Marshall

    Unfortunately, this record doesn't say, is there a child born in the last year or so that might be it? the column in the middle of Andersdatters is a column for age, and the squiggle in it is a ditto mark or a dash which makes me think the child was less than a year old.

    Thank you Savannah Larson-

    But doesn't it say that the child was stillborn? There does not seem to be a child born within the previous year. I was hoping that the extra squiggle was something that indicated boy or girl...

    I guess it may remain a mystery.

    Thanks again,
