Her baby Alexander was born out of wedlock, and she claimed the Swede Erich Olson, who had left the area, was the father of her child.

Dear Kathy,It says roughly: 'Döbt Ane Corleliidotter [F?]löan uægte barn med en bortreyst Svend [...] Eric Olsön /: som hun har udlagt at være Barne-Fader [..] barnets navn: Alexander Testes Anders Olsön Löfs [reg?], Niels Hartman Lövöen - Bendict Jvarsön [F]löan Ranni Nielsdotter ibi[d] Masselle Larsdotter [burnotten ?].Translated it will mean something like: [Today] Ane, daughtter of Cornelis, baptised the child Alexander, which was born out of wedlock, and [the mother] reported [upon query] as the childs father, a [certain] Erik Olson, an apprentice who had gone away [i.e. left her]. The sponsors were: Anders Olsson [family/- farmname], Nils Hartman Løvøya, Benedikt Ivarson [family/-or farmname], Randi Nilsdotter [ibeidem =the same, i.e. same name as the afore mentioned]. Masselle Larsdotter [family/- or farmname].Someone with the a better knowledge of the local farmnames/familynames will hopefully be able to assist you with a more accurate transcription of the passage in question.Best regards,Are

But of couse;I withdraw my initial suggestion of 'an apprentice', it reads correctly 'svend[sk]', which indeed means 'svensk' (swede). :-)Are

Thank all of you very much. I'm going to keep trying to read these myself but it is hard.
