Question about Gers record
The record in question is on the left-side page, 9th record down for Joan Gers and Anna Margreta Blömes.
- I can't make out what it says after Joan Gers name.
- What would you say is the name of that last sponsor?
THANK YOU!

I read the words after Joan Gers as to Oldrup.
I read the last sponsor as Herm Dirk Brorman.

I agree that it says "Oldrup". In another record I have, this family is connected to the town of "Oldorf" which is only a few miles from Damme where this baptism took place. Could Oldrup possibly be referring to Oldorf?

I am not sure about a possible correspondence Oldrup - Oldorf. There are places called Oldrup, but they are in northern Germany and Denmark.
Generally speaking it does not necessarily seem to be the case that Oldrup refers to a location. There are no locations given for the parents in the other records. "to Oldrup" could possibly also be part of the (sur-)name.
