Could someone have a look at this batch and give me an idea of how the units break down? I can identify birth and baptism dates and given name of the child, but having a hard time figuring out who parents are for each child. Also, is there a way to identify the location? No headings on pages.

    See the word Ouders-6 lines down? that in English is parents.

    the next two lines are the names of the father and then the mother.

    The next group "getuigen" were the witnesses of the baptism. they can be ignored (except when you are checking the spelling of the parents last names...after all, the witnesses are usually relatives)!

    The top of the left page is information that flowed over from the previous page, so it cannot be indexed because it is the wittiness's names and you don't index it .

    You can start from the first date: 4 August 1867 (baptist date).

    Child's name: Susanna Maria.

    Surname: Nolte
