Mathis Erichsen Rakkestad Baptism Record 1754

[Les Compton]

Hi, I would greatly appreciate some help understanding part of Mathis Erichsen's March 1754 baptism record from Rakkestad clerical district (parents Erich Klepper - actually Erich Olsen Klepper - and Mari Olsdatter). This is the part between his and his mother's name. The last three words before his name are not typical and I can't read them. The record is the third entry on the right-hand side at https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/5/37/9

 

I think the record may indicate that Mathis died  just after he was christened or maybe that he was illegitimate. If either was the case, it might explain why he is not mentioned in Erich Klepper's later probate record (Klepper Oct 14, 1767 - Rakkestad) or why Erich's other children's Rakkestad christening records (from 1737 to 1751) and the 1767 probate indicate Erich (Olsen) Klepper's only wife was Mari Andersdatter. I think it is also possible that Mathis' mother actually was Mari Andersdatter and that the clergyman who wrote the baptism entry made an error. 

 

In any case, I would really appreciate knowing what the baptism record says.

 

Thanks,

Les Compton

The three words are: "... døbt ved Nafn (now: døpt ved navn) = baptized with the name

 

The baptism was on Skjærtorsdag = Maundy Thursday, which was April 11, 1754.

Hi Elin,

 

Thank you. This eliminates at least one question.
