Ypecolsga (Friesland, Netherlands)
Ypecolsga, a hamlet in the Dutch province of Friesland, where Leenaert Bouwens baptized 20 persons in 1551-54, four in 1554-56, six or seven in 1557-61, and six in 1563-65. Since there was apparently no congregation at Ypecolsga, the converts may have joined the neighboring church of Legemeer.
