I am brand new to this forum and am just starting my Norwegian research. I am looking at the digitized images of Talvik Finnmark at: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?uid=3268&urnread_imagesize=gigant&show=81#bunnen I don't know how to read Norwegian, but am starting to pick out a very few terms. On the image there is a child that I did not know of before. The child's name is Henricke Andrine whose parents are Johan Peter Andersen of Talvik and his wife Oleana Mikalsdtr. What gender is this child. It seems that Henricke should be a boy's name, but Andrine seems like a girls name. I don't understand the column headings. Do they indicate the sex of the child? Also on this entry of Henricke, there are 2 dates 15 Sept and 28 Sept. That appears to be the christening column. Whey would there be 2 dates? If someone could translate the column headings for me that would be wonderful and would help me with understanding other entries. Thanks
