I need help reading the following text (on the image)
Particularly the two words indicated by the red arrows.
Some information to put it in perspective:

The text is from a danish church register
The text is from 1843
The words with the arrows should be the same word
The word is probably a place in Denmark (in 1843)

Yes, its genealogy...

Any help appreciated! :-)

Edou Offline Hopping Mad Posts: 6135 Likes received: 483	Second letter is possibly a c indeed but the e is also often written this way - "Jorgen" at the left top for example. I think we're agreeing as much as to "O.n.e" in any case. A bit more material for comparison would be nice, it's intriguing. TamiyaWeb.com

Solved

I got some expert help from Denmark, some genealogist (is that what they er called?)
It's "Oence" and "Oense" on line two. Both meaning the same tiny place in Denmark (Vejle, Hatting, Ølsted,) :-)

Thank you guys!

(The genealogist could read the entire lines for me, how, I really don't understand.)
