Could I get help translating a birth record taken from the Askim church records in 1761?
My records show his full name as Hans Jørgensen Østby, born in Skjørtenberget, Askim, Østfold, Norway. I have his father's name as Jørgen Andersen Tømmeraas and mother as Dorthe Hansdatter. Does this match his birth record?
I also need his birth date. Please translate all the text and names. The record is on the left side, 3rd person down.

Date for the baptism was Dom 1 á Trin = May 24 in 1761.
The record "Jørgen og Dorthe Schiørte Bergets Søn Hans. Faddere gl Eli Schiørten Nordre, Eli ibid (=Schiørten Nordre), Trine Refvog, Truels Schiørten, Christian Løxen.
Was Jørgen and Dorthe married Nov 4 1754? Did they have children between 1754 and 1761?

Thank you again Einar -
Like the others, does the record show the babtism date only, not date of birth?
Is Skjørtenberget the same as Schiørte Bergens? Is this the name of the farm?
Could the parent's full names be Jørgen Andersen Tømmeraas and Dorthe Hansdatter - I got these names from a relative in Norway. Are names sometimes shortened in a birth record like this- "Jørgen and Dorthe Schiørte Bergens" ?
In my family tree I show 3 children - Helene (1755), Daniel (1757), Hans (1761) |

Baptism records from the periodes in question normally only give date for the baptism.
Schiørten is the farm name, Berget is a cottager place under this farm. (The farm name in the census is written Schiorten)
In some parish records names are written with the farmname to distingiush between people with the same given name. (Some times the farm name is given for the place they were born, other times the farmname is the place they live.)
Jørgen and Dorthe was at the farm Ytre Torp when Daniel was baptized Jan 30 1757.
When Helena was baptized Nov 5 1755 they were on the farm Tømmeraas.
Jørgen Andersen, Tømmeraas and Dorthe Hansdatter, Præstegaarden were married Nov 3 1754, see 6th record on left page.

I believe Jørgen and Dorthe baptized twin boys April 11 1764, see 7th and 8th record on left page.
They were baptized Lars and Anders.
Dorthe was living with her son Daniel and daughter Helene in 1801. She is said to be unmarried - should probably have been widow.
