Johan /Larsen/
Citation details: page 7
Birth
Note: At the time of his birth, his parents resided at Slapøen.There are discrepancies on his actual birth date. According to his death record, he lived to be 59 years old. His birth year would have been 1817. His age as given on his marriage record (22 in July 1845) is off by two years from the birth record. The 1865 census gives his birthplace as "Alstadhaug" which is in Nord-Trondelag. Given that he was baptised in Herøy i Alstahaug parish in Nordland, it is more likely he was born at Alstahaug, Nordland.
Baptism

Baptism of a daughter
Note: The parish record erroneously gives the date as 12 Aug. The previous entry, made on the same page and the same day (the 21st Sunday of Trinity), correctly records the date of both baptisms as October 12. A 12 Aug baptism would have been before the birth of the child. Johana's sponsors were Möller Zacariasen (her grandfather), Ole Hansen, Lars Hansen, Karen Petersdatter, Elle Möllersdatter, and Ane [?].
