Dutch term or phrase: in tegenstaande akte
Dear colleagues,

I was wondering if someone could help me to decipher what might mean:
Dhr. X, in tegenstaande akte genoemd, heeft = the opposite [side of the?] document

It is a very old birth certificate (uittreksel burgerlijke stand = extract from the vital events records) from the beginning of the previous century and the language is somewhat different. Thanks a lot!

very low CL but judging from the text of the website this could be it.

Reference: Deed of change of name

Reference information:
When you Google it, there are a number of websites concerning older birth certificates, where 'tegenstaande akte' means 'deed of change of name' , in which the name of the person is officially corrected or changed.

See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deed_of_change_of_name

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: Verouderde uitdrukking die (voor zover ik kan zien) vooral werd gebruikt om te verwijzen naar de feitelijke akte in situaties waarbij er sprake was van een aantekening/opmerking/bijschrift in de kantlijn van een akte. Zie ook mijn opmerking in de D-box.
