Robert, Great again! Hanß Reinhard Mezger is showing up in another document which apparently means the father Hans Peter Scholl's and Anna Margaretha knew him and he was their go to person when it came to baptismal sponsors. Wonderful translation! You are the best, Kent

Robert Seal_1 Thank you for this translation!!! This gives us three of Hans Peter's children who had the same sponsor, namely Hanß Reinhard Mezger!! That is pretty clear evidence all three children are Peter and Anna Margaretha's children. I have not seen anyone put together their family but your wonderful translation makes this possible. I am super excited to find this out!! All the best to you, Kent

Hello @Kent Gardiner
Translation:
Date: on the 10th of August [1657].
Child: Anna Dorothea.
Parents: Hanß Peter Scholl and Anna Margaretha.
Baptismal sponsors: Hanß Reinhard Mezger and his wife; Anna Dorothea Ruffin and Hanß Balthasar Hoffmann, both still single.
Comment: The phrasing for the baptismal sponsors was a little confusing. Was Hanß Reinhard Mezger's wife Anna Dorothea Ruffin or was his wife not named in the record? Given the phrase at the end "both still single" I decided there were four baptismal sponsor: (1) Hanß Reinhard Mezger; (2) his wife (unnamed); (3) Anna Dorothea Ruffin; and (4) Hanß Balthasar Hoffmann. Then the phrase "both still single" would refer to sponsors (3) and (4) only.
