Translate Record from Switzerland
This is a marriage record of Johannes Burri and Barbara Hostettler in Rueschegg, Bern, Switzerland on 16 July 1814. I need to know the father of Barbara Hostettler and where they are from. Thanks!

I suggest you join and post this in the Germany Research group (https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/88-germany-research). Consider adding the link as well as the screenshot -- yes, the link can be tracked down using what's in the screenshot, but it's extra work to ask of people. (With That Dratted Handwriting, I always find I need to zoom in more, and more context is always better.)

And that snip appears to be from the banns. The 3 dates in the left column are the dates the banns were read, with the date of the marriage in the far right column. A full marriage record will likely have more info about the family and the witnesses.
According to this indexing of the marriage, His parents were Ulrich and Barb (possibly abbreviated from Barbara) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:66JV-FGFX
Unfortunately, the digital images appear to be restricted from home viewing for a public account. The snip does include his full date of birth, 8 Sep 1796. With that, you may be able to track down his baptismal record with more info about his parents and place of birth.
