Information in marriage record
What else does it say about Peter Jorgensen in this marriage record? Maria Katharina's father is named--but I don't see that information about him.
Thanks in advance,

Comments:
According to Danish Wikipedia a Boelsmand is the owner of a boelsmandssted, which is the term for the second smallest agricultural holdings. A boelsmandssted is an agricultural holding smaller than a farm (bondegård). Traditionally, a boelsmandssted was less than 3 acres. At the same time the farmer (bonde) had at least 15 acres of land.
Mummark (now written Mommark) and Hørup are villages on the island Als.
