Hi #[Tanner Blair Tolman]​ ,

This is a really interesting entry. I read it as: Dominica 2 post Epiphany om Brylluppet i C__? Lauritz Nielsens Kone i Eidrup (Ejdrup). The word right before Lauritz looks like Carin but it is preceded by a an "i". If it was a persons name "Carin" it's out of context with the meaning and none of the other entries show a mothers name. With the "i" and in context it looks like it should be a place name yet I don't see similar place names in Blære or Ejdrup.

The interesting thing is these are introductions. The entries before and after do not include other ceremonies. So the question is, whose wedding is being mentioned? The word really looks like Bryllupp. The odd thing is the Ejdrup engagements in late 1735 (opslag 80) and marriages (opslag 91) don't show a wedding was performed. The Blære engagements (opslag 32) show an engagement on Nov. 29 with the same couple married on Festo Epiphany 1736 (opslag 42). I wonder if the word "om" in this case means "before" for a marriage to fit this date. So here's a theory...

I wonder if the entry back on the introductions of 1736 (opslag 100) was referring to "before a wedding" was Lauritz Nielsens wife of Ejdrup introduced? But this only works if the date of introduction was not recorded correctly and it was actually on the same day as a wedding in Blære (which had a wedding on Festo Epiphany and 2 weddings on 3 post Epiphany). But this still doesn't explain what looks like Carin. I don't know if this is helpful, but here ya go. I'd love to hear other ideas, or even better a solution.

Thanks,

Geoff
