Dippel (I think): Church Record Translation

Mike Smiley

I found a church record. I think the record is about a person surnamed "Dippel." However, I am not sure. If it is someone, surname "Dippel", I am interested. If it isn't a "Dippel", I am NOT interested. So, if this is for someone surnamed "Dippel" I am hoping for someone to translate the following church record.

The record is found in Archion.de with the following URL: https://www.archion.de/en/viewer/?no_cache=1&type=churchRegister&uid=244576

It is image 1621 and is the record for June 3rd.

It is from the following location: Kurhessen-Waldeck: Landeskirchliches Archiv Kassel > Ziegenhain > Ibra > Kirchenbuch 1774-1832

The closeup image of the entry is:

The full page is:

So, if this is not for a Dippel, it would be great to simply let me know that. If it is for a Dippel, I would love the June 3rd record translated. Thanks so much! Mike Smiley

Hello @Mike Smiley,

Yes, the surname here is "Dippell", which is a variant spelling of "Dippel".

Translation:

At top of page: Baptized at Ibra 1777.

June 3: Johannes, [son of] Peter Dippell, inhabitant here, and his wife Anna Catharina, née Witzelin, [was baptized], born on the 31st of May [1777] at 2:00 pm. Baptismal sponsor: Johannes Damer, court bailiff at Breitenbach.
