Need help to transcribe and translate birth record of Jens Christian Hansen

[Claudio Lindquist]

Hello,

This is my first post to this forum and I hope someone could help me to transcribe and translate the birth/baptism record of my danish great-great-grand-father Jens Christian Hansen.

I've found two records for his birth/baptism:

https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?epid=17224792#206070,39114917 (first record on page 44/373)

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-33540-7699-63?cc=2078555&wc=M5KN-2JV:357518001,359680601,359680602,359680603 (last record on page 36/379)

This is what I have understood so far: Jens Christian Hansen was born on April 28th 1868 and was baptized on June 21st 1868 in the Søllested church. He was the son of Hans Henriksen and Ulrikke Rasmusdatter (42 years old).

Thank you in advance!

Hello Ralph,

It seems to me that his father's surname is Hendriksen (1st link) or Henriksen (2nd link).

Best regards,
Claudio

Big typo on my part.  It surely wasn't that hard to read. 

D after n sometimes comes and goes in older Danish, for example kan vs. kand.

[Claudio Lindquist]

Thank you for the explanation on the missing "d" in his father's surname. Any insight on the meaning of the words "Skodsbølle" and "Baadergaard"?

[Ralph Rasmussen]

The origin and original form of many place names is lost in history.  Local histories and Trap Danmark often trace back to the earliest mention of the place names in Mediaeval records.  In other cases the name is of more recent origin and based on folk etymology.

The literal translation of the present form of those two place names is actually beyond me.

Sorry, I didn't realize that these words were place names... Thank you for your precious help!
