I cannot help with the translation but if I leave this comment it should move your request to the top of the list. I hope this will help.

den 13 de Mei is op het kerkhof begraven Elisabeth Ysfer een half uur geluid komt rechts van luide kerke

i used today's spelling for this;translated it sounds like this.

At the 13 th of May is buried on the cemetary

Elisabeth Ysfer bells tolled for a half hour

allocated to the right side of the church(*)

The last sentence contains a strangeness,if i compare it to the other endlines on the folio.

They allocate to a plot, sometimes in front of the church, sometimes besides of it, sometimes not within the walls of the cemetary.They are all clear and readable.They do not mention a location of origin or something else.only the first entry however, has the term "Luide" before kerke(church); it seems out of context.

-Ysfer is a valid familyname

I liked your line, in another thread, "this group works in spurts". Nice,..first time to read it.

Well, the difficulty in the above link is that is is only a snapshot of... and not the link to the file itself.

The quality is very fuzzy,and i had to dump it to the printer,print it , overdraw what is readable with a sharp hard pencil, é voila,it can be read.

Secondary,a term like "geluid" in the document , does not translate as 'sound' as it should be,but has another meaning, --the tolling of the bells as in this sentence as an example=>

Wij hebben de klokke geluid. (We made the bells toll) and it made a lot of (geluid)(sound) .

So you see how fast a machine translator will grind to a stall.
