Woow Katsa, thankyou very much.
And I suppose the 19 sept could be 11 sept as well. What is them rows, more specific? Is it a child being baptised!? And the childs name is Niels-Johan!? Or is it when the child is born?

Sept 11 (sorry, of course it is 11, not 19 - my mistake...) is the date of baptism (getauft - baptized), not the date of birth. The child became the first name Niels-Johan.
