Record of Karen Jensen

[Ric Rasmussen]

Can I get help transcribing this record please.  It is the first one on the right hand side.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-33497-2512-72?cc=2078555&wc=M5KH-VZ7:357517501,357801401,357956501,357986301

This is what I have so far:

Den 9th December hjemmedøbt Jens Mad
sen og Ellen Hans Daatter pigebarn
af Haarbølle, kaldet Karen ? ?
? ? confirmeret Dom 2de p Epiphanis
1785 af ? ? ? ? i Askebye
Test: Mads ? ? ? Hansen
? ? Lars ? ? ?
? ? ? ? alle af Haarbølle

I understand that she was baptized at home on Dec 9th.  My understanding is this was done for children that they were concerned would not make it.  Would that have happened the same day?  In other words, can I confidently assume she was born Dec 9th?

Thanks,

Ric

I can go this far:

Cf: other entries on these pages for phraseology.

There appears to have been some urgency to the baptism, but it leaves a day or two of uncertainty.  with this pastor, baptism at home wasn't simply routine.

Thank you, Ralph.
