Translation Request: a few confusing words...
I am not sure what is being written here. Usually, these entries follow a certain format and I can figure it out. But this one has a few… odd ones for me.
1708 on April 19. A girl was baptized "Catharina". Not sure what else is there. I think her father's last name was "Tesch".
I am interested in the Catharina Halfman that is noted there. The Halfman's are my direct ancestors (my mom's maiden name even!). So I am combing through all of these records, trying to connect everyone correctly together.
Let me know what you think is here. Thanks!

This is on the 2nd page, on Slide 23 of 346 on Film #008107275.
Thank you!

ooh so……. I'm assuming they weren't married. And how interesting that the blame wasn't out onto the mother!
