Mysteries to be solved

The following records in chronological order of persons with the name Drustrup needs to be researched further. I hope to get the time to look into these mysteries, but if anyone will do so, it would be fine.

The records no. 1-4 needs looking into because the name Drustrup appears earlier, than it was made an official family name, in order to find out, who else has used the name, and if the persons are related to the Drustrups we know of.

No. 5 needs to be examined in the church records to find out, if it is true, that Maren Poulsen Myrtue and Jens Joergen Nielsen Drustrup had a 8th child beside the 7 known children. (Read more about the family here)

No. 6 should be the easy one, although the person (gender not shown in the records) is unknown in both family lines I had found at the present time.
