Hello Lisa,
Translation:
Number: 5.
Gender/Daughter/Legitimate: "2" [second legitimate daughter born in this place this year].
Day of the baptism: 22 January [1843].
Baptismal name of the child: Henriette.
Day and hour of the birth: 16 January [1843], 9:00 pm.
Father: Johann Woiczechowski, farm laborer, Evangelical [Protestant].
Mother: Eva, née Mehrau, Evangelical [Protestant].
Place of residence of the father: Gross Brausen.
Names, status, and residence of the baptismal sponsors: Marie Kubzitzki? [and] Eva Woiczechowski, "Jungfrauen in Brausen" = maidens in Brausen, and Anna Woiczechowski in Rosenberg.
Officiating clergy: Ged___?, minister.
Remarks: [blank].
Comments: It's possible that the two baptismal sponsors with surname Woiczechowski are siblings or are otherwise related (niece, cousin) to the father. However, I have seen records where considerably older siblings of the baptized child have also served as sponsors. I recall that Johann was over 45 and a widower when he married Eva in 1840, so it is possible that there were older children from Johann's previous marriage who could have served as Henriette's sponsors. More research is necessary to confirm one way or the other.

Thank you Robert
I have a feeling that there are a lot of missing records in that area.
I am trying to find my Maria Wociechowksi’s family from Gross Brausen. I have that she is the daughter of a Johann from the stillbirth of an Unhelich child. I have found her in the marriages to brother’s Christian and Friedrich Gollub, (not at the same time, lol) but I have not been able to find her birth or the birth’s of her husbands.
There is a whole other Johann Woi...chowksi family in Gross Starkenau that I built a tree for, but was unfortunately able to prove that it was not the right one.
I’ll just have to keep trying and hope more records are found and released.
Thanks again, Lisa
