    Hello @Don Kolle,

    As written in column 2, the child's surname appears to be: Teÿfferth.

    However, the father's surname in column 3 is: Seÿfferth.

    The third baptismal sponsor's surname in column 7 is: Seÿfferth.

    I did an exact surname search limiting it to Germany on Ancestry and got the following results:

    Seÿfferth: 2,908 examples

    Teÿfferth: 5 examples.

    The surname is likely to be Seÿfferth but you'll need to keep an open mind until you find additional records, such as the father's marriage record, which confirm the spelling.

    I see it as Seÿfferth; the "S" is clearer in the writing of the fathers surname.

    If you look at record #57 on image 713 you can see the "S" in Schmidt is written in the same way.
