@David Brandstatter On March 4th, 1747, the child Maria Magdalena was baptised, daughter of Urbanus Prandstötter, farmhand, and domestic servant at the Lindtner estate near Pürbach. The mother is Maria Anna. The godmother is Elisabeth, wife of Martin Schwachhoffer (?), farmhand and domestic servant at Oberfreynthal.

Is the date of birth/baptism March 4th, 1747 or March 9th, 1747?
Thank you

@David Brandstatter I think it's March 4th because of how the number was drawn.

I've been working with records from Versmold during that time period. A '4' usually had a hook to the right on the bottom. A '9' had a hook to the left. There was no consistency in whether the loop on the top was open or closed.
This character has a deliberate hook to the left, so it is most likely a '9'. There are other entries for '19' and '29', where the '9' is more obviously a '9'.

@Cheryl Viering You're right about the hook and the 19 two entries down does look similar. But nines are typically made with a little loop, while fours don't have a loop in that handwriting.
They usually look like this:
Given the next two entries are 'eodem' (same) and the 19th, it could be either.
But I'd still stick with 4.
