My grandfather, Christian Vilhelm Ferdinand Adolph Georg Reimers, with a name like that it is a wonder there were names for 5 additional children, was baptized 13 November 1865. The record can be seen at Kolding, Sct Nikolaj, Brusk, Vejle 1860-1872 OPS 53. There was a witness by the name of Claus Reimers, I can not read the name of the place he came from. Can someone help?

Hi Marlon,
Do you have a direct link for the source?
You've mentioned that he was baptized on november 13th 1865. But do you have his birth date?
I tried a manual search in a ministerial registry (here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=385175#385175,74107613) based on your information, but the name doesn't seem to appear around that date (at least not to me).
A direct link or at least an uploaded screenshot would help a lot.
I find a Claus Christian Frederik Reimers born 13 Nov. 1865 in Kolding:

Thanks to both of you.Claus Christian Reimers was my grandfather. I think I have seen the other one sometime in the past and all those names had me confused. One other thing in that same Kolding book OPS 41 #58 there is another Reimers born. Was that a still born?
Again thanks
