https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/1350/131?indexing= I would like help understanding and reading this information. Hans is my maternal great grandfather. This is the record for Hans Johnsen, born 3 Jul 1843, number 80. Father is John Hansen, mother is Else? Hansdatter. It looks like the information is this column ends with where the baptism took place, either :Boe (Bø) or :Lunde. Are those farm names after Hansd.? ?gedalen and Go?i? Any indication if the parents were born in Bø? I can't find any parishes or farms with variations of these names. Next seems to be the godparents names. I can read the names in this column, and most are followed by Go?i? With one other possible farm name. Are these farm names or something else? I am not sure if or how the godparents are related yet, but it doesn't seem to be the grandparents as there is no Hans. Before I continue to read through Bo church registries it would really help to have clarification of this baptism record. I am trying to find Hans Johnsen's parents. I did find a record for Jon Hansen born in Bø, Telemark in 1819, but I have not been able to make a positive connection. I can not find anything in the Bo church registries for Else? Hansdatter. So far no marriage records for John and Else either. Thank you for any help. Ray
