Translation Help Please?
This is an excerpt from a book of birth records from the island of Rugen, Pomern, Prussia. My ancestor's names were Joakim Ludvig von Segebaden and Margarethe Hedwig von Platen. I see these parent's names (well, most of them) clearly in the entry, but can not pick out a child's name, or gender. I am wondering if there are any clues as to why this information is missing for this entry? Thank you!

This is the birth record of Margaretha Maria (Warckenthin). Your ancestor Margaretha von Platen is the godmother.

WOW! Thank you! I'm so thankful for your help in clarifying the record. It has been misunderstood by others to have been their child of unknown name and gender, so I will be sure to explain this so it is not confused in the future! I am very grateful for your expertise!
