Translation help birth record year 1794
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZY-97WW-C?i=180&cat=248596
I would appreciate a bit of help to finish the transcription and translation of the baptism record (entry 1953). I especially want to know the meaning of the information about the father because there is only a surname. Could this be an out of wedlock birth? The death record for Clause is found on image 449 (entry 7) and the parents names in the record are Joachim Friedrich Lange and Elisabeth nee Möller.
Image 179 (page 318) shows the year of birth was 1794. The records are found on Retschow, Church records (1), Kirchenbuch 1641-1911, 69494.
Thank you! Debra

Comments: the designations of the second sponsor can be both a name or an occupation (Schuhmacher = shoemaker, Bauer = farmer); so it could be a shoemaker named Bauer, or a man named Schuhmacher who is a farmer. It is odd that the first name is not given; just like for the father. There is no indication that the child should been born out of wedlock.

I forgot about your previous explanation that the capitalizing of words in German is important, so Geb. = Geburt = birth makes sense. The translation of the second sponsor's occupations/names is funny! I agree it's odd that the father's first name wasn't given. The explanation that the record doesn't indicate the parents relationship was out of wedlock is very helpful. Thank you.
