Please help me read this handwriting...

Rebecca Kennedy_4

I have attached 3 copies of what I think may be a placename near Ruhlow, Mecklenburg. It is used after the person's name and occupation (Vollbauer). I believe it is included to distinguish between people with the same name. It has occurred to me that it might be something other than a placename.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Kennedy

Hello @Rebecca Kennedy_4,

It's not a place. It's an additional occupation.

The two words are: Kirchen Vorsteher, which can also be written as a single word: Kirchenvorsteher.

Ernest Thode, German-English Genealogical Dictionary, defines this word as: chairman of the church council; deacon.
