film 007475967, image 286, the first two entries are for twin daughters of Robert Ernst Holger Weichert and his wife Marie. What word follows her name? What do the rest of the columns say?

I have burial dates for these two children on 21 March 1909 in Aars, village, sogn and herred. I also know that the first word before the father's name is his occupation, butcher.

The column headings in order are:

• [entry] number
• birth year and date
• birth place
• child's full name
• parents' full names, their occupation and residence, as well as the mother's age
• baptismal date
• who performed the baptism, and where (in the church or at home)
• godparents'/witnesses/ full names, occupation, and residence
• notes

The two entries state that on 18 March 1909 were born in Aars town, parish, and hundred, Marie Weichert and her stillborn twin [no given names nor gender are listed for the twin; however, note that "stillborn" in European documents does not necessarily mean that the child was born deceased--it's possible the child lived for a short while, although it was not long enough for the child to be baptized]. The parents were the butcher Robert Ernst Holger Weichert and his wife Marie Vasaqer (she was 25). The child Marie was baptized by the midwife Andersen (in Binderup) at home on 18 March 1909, but she [Marie] died before having been presented in church.
