Where oder translated means or. How you handle it?
also Everds gt in Eberhard Heinrich Everds gt Rummeier. Is Everds gt german words for something or is it a geographic reference or something completely different?

gt is gennant.
You must be working in an area that used Hof names. When a man took over a farm by marriage or other means, he had to also take the name of the farm. There are several ways of indicating the new name: gen, gt, d., mod, oder, geb, ...
Eberhard Heinrich Everds became Eberhard Heinrich Everds gt Rummeier.
The children would usually be named Rummeier, but sometimes they would be Everds gt Rummeier. I suspect that is based on how the contract for the farm is written.
