I am attempting to learn to read old German script. I think I have most of this record correctly transcribed, but I would appreciate a quick check over it and help with one word I cannot figure out. I think it means Godmother, but I can't make out the letters.

This is a 1702 Baptism record from Langenselbold, Hessen for Anna Margretha Fuchs saved from Archion.de

    Hello @Cynthia McClanahan Cruz,

    Excellent work!

    The one word you had trouble with is: Gevatterin = (female) baptismal sponsor if Protestant; godmother if Catholic.
