den 18. t(en) Junij [1665]
Kind: Jacob.
Elteren: Hanß Rudj Sÿdler allhir Wagners / Margretha Grobin.
Zeügen: Jaglj Wäber von Rifferschwÿl ... / Verena Schneewlin Josen tochter hir.
I can't tell you with confidence what the 3(?) letters after Rifferschwÿl are: "wir" ??? What would that mean? Abbreviation for Wirt???
Verena Schneebli's father was likely a Joseph.

Thanks, beautiful as always.
Back to Gregorius. Does " in puerperio" mean in childbirth? I take it Margretha Bär was an Antabaptist. Very interesting family!!! My best, KG

Yes - her death and his baptism were on the same day: quite possible that he was baptised immediately as problems were expected.
I take it Margretha Bär was an Anabaptist.
As I quoted on the forum: in her marriage entry is says "eines Widerteüffers Tochter ab dem Ütliberg" … so her father was an Anabaptist, and she likely was brought up this way. However, in the baptismal entry 1650 of her two children she's described as Calvinist.
Üetliberg is a small mountain range SW border of Zürich.
