Again, attached is the family chart, with knowns marked "X". This time, I need help with the christening of Anders Pedersen (Later "Skræder"), 21 Nov 1680
Please see København Sokkelund Holmen Holmen 1671 1685 F opslag 217 , top left.
Most of the names are clear, but I am not familiar with the words after Peder Andersen's name. I see the same words on entries mid-right page. Other entries in same position are various titles, like "soldier" etc. I also hope to know if there is a place of birth given.
My ancestor Anders Pedersen, in the only previous definitive records I have, is noted to be a "former dragoon", later a farmer on an apparently paltry farm.
I would also welcome comments on the likelihood that I am on the right track or not, based on naming.
I know now that the Bubonic Plague which killed 1/3 of Copenhagen residents in 1711 was confined to the city, and did not extend to pastoral areas.
Again, tak!
