Niels Jonsen Halsen, widow Berit Hansdatter, daughter Dorithe Nielsdatter. Below her, do you read Berit Nielsdatter or Doret written differently? A child was born several months before their marriage if that matters.

Thank you very much

You are right. First she is listed as Dorethe, and then as Berit. Which name is the correct one?  – Beats me . . . 😉

Could be a mix-up as her mothers first name is Berit.

EDIT: It is said clearly that the ‹shift› is between the widow and the daughter (singular).
