Some guessing on a 1698 birth record

Tom Randolph

1698 birth record for Philipp Jacob Röller. A couple of words I'm not so sure about:

In the 'Perentes' section,

• the word between Röller and Elisabetha looks to be something like 'hende' but logically should be 'und'
• Please check if you agree the 'hausfrau' at the end of the second line, and 'eheleüte' in the third line

In the 'Sponsores' section,

• can't make out the word following 'sohn' which logically should be 'und'
• The word following 'Elisabetha' should be her father's first name and looks to be 'Michael' split across two lines
• The word after Elisabetha's father's name is guessed to be 'sael.' for saelig

Would appreciate your review!

You're welcome, @Tom Randolph! That is the most common usage of "ehelich," but in older records like yours, it can also apply more generally.

"Ehe" means "marriage," and "-lich" is similar to the English suffix "-ly," so the word is an adjective literally meaning "marriage-ly" (we usually translate it to "legitimate" in the context of a child, but in the context of a spouse, think of it as "marital"). So, a marriage-ly/legitimate child is a child [born] within a marriage, and a marriage-ly/marital spouse is a spouse within a marriage. I hope that helps a bit!

Thanks @Charlotte Noelle Champenois! Wow, I got a couple of things right, but missed others! Steep learning curve. I was under the impressions the 'elelich' was always referring back to birth status, so good to know it applies more generally.
