Clarification on father of child in 1833 civil birth registration
On this birth registration, the informant is Johann Krantz, age 50 of Immendorf. His relationship to the child isn't noted, as far as I can tell. It looks like the married couple, Johann Krantz, age 22, and Sibilla Stammel, age 25, are the parents of daughter, Margaretha, in April 1833.
There is a note about the younger Johann, which seems to note a military regiment assignment. Can someone look at this and see if this an accurate interpretation?

Thanks so much!

Hello @BetteB,
The child's father, Johann Krantz, is identified as a "Dragoner" = Dragoon = heavily armed cavalry soldier in this record so your interpetation that he was in the military is correct. I am unable to completely decipher his military unit, but the last two words might translate as "fourth regiment."

Johann Krantz is "Dragoner beim königlichen vierten Regiment" = dragoon in the royal 4th regiment
