Vorgod Sogn - Help with Reading a Name

[Rick Larsen]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a name in a 1712 baptismal entry? I'm struggling and have my own idea of what it says, but I would appreciate help from someone who is more expert with the script.

The entry in question is at Vorgod-Nørre Vium 1709-1817, opslag 17, Dom 24 p. Trin., Bernt Jensens barn kaldet ______.

Thank you in advance,
Rick
P.S.: I read "Edel"

[Arne Feldborg]

Yes, the name is "Edel".  And it its most likely the Edel you are looking for.

It is the Edel that Ruth mentioned in:

The parents also did have a child named Edel in 1707, but she died the same year.

Thank you! I had hoped for that and saw the death of the othe "Eddel" in the meantime.
Best,
Rick
