I am looking for the birth record of Gunhild Poulsdatter. I am told it is at Vågå 1739 - 1810 page 13, 2nd column next to last record. I can not read this. If this is the record could someone please translate for me?

Thank you,

The first word in that record is 'Dito' (ditto). Just before the child's name is the abbreviation 'pb' which is what that writer has put before every female child on the page - while putting 'drb' before every male child.
'Fadd' is abbreviation of faddere.

The witnesses include a Hans M???????, Hans ????????, illegible, Gunhild M???????, ???? ?????????.

The unnamed mother was introduced to the congregation on 'Feri: 3 Nativ:'

Now I wonder if someone would be so kind as to translate the birth record of Christen Olsen. Same book, page 24, 2nd column, 1st record.
