confirmation translation request
Hello, I have never searched this collection of records but a Wallbruch name caught my attention. It is the last one (bottom of page) Could you explain what is written here as to dates and names. Is the mother or father name recorded here? Is the date below the name a birth date? Is it beneficial perhaps to search these kind of records? Please translate this bottom part. I appreciate your help and guidance.

It's the confirmation class of 9th June 182x (last number cut off, probably 1822 or 1823)
Child: Henrich Wilhelm (Wallbruch) born 29 Aug 1808
Parent: Anna Elisabetha Bernhard? (not sure of correct spelling of surname)
I don't know why the surname for Henrich is in parenthesis. It isn't for the other children listed. The mother's surname is different, perhaps Henrich's father has died and she remarried.
I do like to search for confirmation records when available. You never know what tidbit of information they might contain. And for one of my ancestors it is the only record I can find of that gives the father's name.

Your response is really helpful. Confirmations will be another avenue I will pursue . I like that it gives a birth date and a parent name.
Much appreciated.
