Can I get some help with the translation and transcription of this record?
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-33504-6007-13?cc=2078555&wc=M5KC-T3X:357517501,357801401,357956501,358026501
It is entry 34.
It appears to me that he is illegitimate but I can't quite understand the details.
Thanks,
Ric

To translate fruentimmer as prostitute is a bit harsh.
The word was used to designate unmarried women who had previously given birth out of wedlock.
Thanks, Helmer. That choice of terms was courtesy of Google translate.
So because this word was used, does that suggest that she had another child before this one or would it be used because this child was out of wedlock?
What does "i Sygdom af Bering" mean?
What does "Tjennend i Grønsund paa Falster" mean?
Thanks.
Ric
The reading 'i sygdom af Bering' is to the best of my understanding what is written, and would mean, as the child was sick, by Bering.
Mads Larsen was a farm hand in Grønsund parish on the island of Falster. Tjennend = serving.
Thanks, Ralph.
