At first, I thought it might stand for Geisbruck, since that is one of the covered villages.  But then, when I looked up Eva in the index, the word following her name did not look like Geisbruck.  https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/regensburg/frontenhausen/Frontenhausen004/?pg=488

So, I went to Meyer's Gazeteer and looked at this list of villages near Frontenhausen: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10525027

Based on that list, I decided that her location is probably "Gerzen."

Thank you !

I found her baptismal record, though her family is listed as Wimber instead of Wimmer in the records at Gerzen.  (The Gerzen index is really hard to follow).

The ball keeps rolling.....

Thanks again !

Colleen is right. Just for completeness:

Transcription: "[1745, Mense Julio] 13tia contraxit matrimonium Andreas Hofer viduus et soldanus in Sohnleithen, cum Eva, Simonis Wimmers plebis Gertzen et Barbarae uxoris eius, utriusque p.[iae] m.[emoriae] filia legit.[ima]. Testantibus Thoma {Stögincker}? von Prosmaring pl.[ebis] {et ………}, et Balthasaro Hofer, pl.[ebis] Loitzenkirchen."

Translation: "On July 13th 1745 were given together in matrimony; Andreas Hofer, widower and smallholder (Söldenbauer) in Sonnleiten; with Eva, legitimate daughter of Simon Wimmer, commoner in Gerzen, and his wife Barbara, both in blessed memory. In front of the witnesses Thomas {Stögincker}? of Prosmering, commoner {and ..……}, and Balthasar Hofer, commoner in Loizenkirchen."
