.. from Geneanet FT ... Hjemmedøpt - stadfestet 5/7-1846 i kirken
home baptism .. stadfestet = [from OJ's Norwegian-American dictionary/word list]
If this occur in connection with a baptism, it tells that the child has first been baptized at home. We can say it is verifying a
bapt/Chr, done outside church (at home/hospital etc).
This was most probably because the child was very ill and in danger of dying, and a month later the child baptism was confirmed
by the minister in church in a special ceremony.
