birth record translation help please

AudreyKirtzinger

Hi there,

I truly admire the way the helpers here can 1. read the old script and 2. translate it to English. I am looking for some help translating the birth record for Thomas Maÿr on this page: https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/eichstaett/greding/5-01/?pg=157 (4th from bottom)

thanks in advance!
