Need help translating a German Baptismal Record from a Wisconsin Church

Parents for Anna Eller (9CKV-3G5)

I am interested in understanding the information in Anna's baptismal record. I have attached a copy to her memory page. It is unclear to me who is her father. Her mother, Magdalena (Stintzi) Eller (K8X4-2Z5), was apparently still married to Wynand Eller (KHBR-7QP), but I don't see his name (although the text in German is not clear to me). According to my research, Magdalena does have a son John Welshinger (LHK6-S96) and a stepson John Eller (9XX6-F5V) and both of their names are listed in the record. Thanks!

It's in Latin, not German. My reading/interpretation:

Eller. The same day [5 March] was baptized Anna Magdalena, born on the 4th day of March, daughter of John Eller and Magdalena Stenzy, godparents John Welchinger and Anna Ford(?).

@PaulNewman58 To confirm the parents of Anna Eller, check the christening records for her two younger siblings. For Mathias (Image 277 of that same Film DGS #008117611) father is "Wieland Erler". For Tobias (Image 333, Film DGS # 007616381) father is "Winald. Eller". My guess is the father's German given name is Johann Winand/Winald/Wieland Eller. You would have to go to Salt Lake to view image of his christening.

Thanks! I am a novice when it comes to genealogy research. Your interpretation raises an interesting situation for the family since it indicates Wynand Eller is the grand-father and not the father for Anna Eller. Anna's father, John Eller, is a step-son of Magdalena (Stintzi) Eller and a son of Wynand Eller.

My first comment was in response to the comment from Julia Szent-Györgyi.

I have to do more research now that I have reviewed the comment from SerraNola.

It's clear that my lack of knowledge about different birth names, especially from different countries is causing some confusion. As SerraNola suggests, all the children could have the same father.

Thanks!
