Hello Kent,

Translation:

Left margin: [H]anß Martin Rösler, "Bäder", [and] Anna Maria his wife.

On the 21st of November [1647], a little daughter, so named Anna Mar___, was baptized. Baptismal sponsors: Mr. Hanß Jörg Meÿer, district administrator, and Anna Maria his wife. Heinrich Munck and his wife from "Leidelsheim". Hanß Öst___er, the miller, and Ba[rba]ra his wife, Catholic religion.

Comments: "Bäder" after the father's name is puzzling to me. The German word for bathouse operator/barber is "Bader" without an umlaut over the "a". "Bäder" with an umlaut on the "a" translates as: baths. So I am not quite sure what to do with this word.

Given that the mother's name and the first female sponsor's name are Anna Maria, it's likely that the child's second name is "Maria" BUT it could also be "Margaretha". You'll need to decide how you want to handle this.

Excellent, thank you so much.
