His name is listed as Jens Holdgaard on Peder’s birth record but the witnesses are very similar to those of Maren’s christening 18 months later, including the same Godmother.
On Dorthe Anne’s birth record (1761) he is called Jens Pedersen Holdgaard and the witnesses are again similar.
Father may be Peder Holdgaard (d. 12 Jul 1763 Kragelund).
