Bubikon ZH - Census - 1678 - Schaufelberger
At the URL below is a page from the 1678 Bibikon Parish census that contains a reference to a Hans Heinrich Schaufelberger family ( number XVII). If possible, I would like some help to translate this record for this family. Thank you.

Right column: Könnend gmeinlich / den Catechis(mus) / vnd bättend aus / den Zeügnußen.
Heinrich Schaufelberger of Lettenmoos and Anna Hess of Hefern (Wald) had married on 26.04.1655 in Dürnten. It therefore makes sense that the oldest 3 children had been to the first communion (usually aged about 18 years) before 1678.
It is difficult to translate word by word - so I'll try to summarize the content: Barenberg is a copyhold (fief?). It had been given some time ago by "Amts…" (some sort of administrator) Friedrich Büler to Hans Heinrich Schaufelberger. If I understand the text correctly, Hans Heinrich Schaufelberger had died before 1798 (can you confirm this?). Now the property is held by his widow, Anna Hess, and their children.
Left column: All children have been baptised in Dürnten.
Right column: They know the Catechism in the usual manner and are praying from the Zeügnußen - Bible quotes from the Catechism.
