Looking for this person - born in Lindseth, Hof, Vestfold. I have looked at the record there - Hof 1704-1745 P 25 - and think I see a Maren on the right side but can't read the material to determine parents and verify date or any other details. Can anyone help?

It's a record for: 6 Apr baptized a child for Per Øfre Lindseth, the childs name Maren.

From other records Per Øfre Lindseth = Wagtmester Peder Andersen, Usbye, who were married to Maren Nielsen.

What does Per Ofre, Wagtmester and Usbye mean? If I understand, the child Maren's parents are Peder Andersen and Maren Nielsen.

Per Øfre Lindseth means Per living at the farm Øfre (Upper) Lindseth.
Per Usbye means that he was born at the farm Usbye.
The title "Wagtmester" is a military rank.
You are right about Marens parents.
