Christening Record - Jacob Peter Jensen

In the 1880 Danish census I found another child for Peder and Christine Jensen -  Jacob Peter Jensen. Since he was 1 year old at the time (1 Feb 1880) I went back into the church records to find his christening record.

Interesting:
His entry is pretty standard except for the short notation next to his number - "emigrated to America." I have some family histories that mention Christine immigrating to America, but only tells me that it was after her parents (who immigrated in 1870). This is the first supporting evidence.
