I am having difficulty understanding my great grandfathers baptismal cert.
I also have his sisters .I am trying to get information on the family so need help with the names. They are difficult to understand. My great grandfathers name was Dezso Karoly Papp, His sister was Margit. I believe his father was Ferencz , need help with his mothers full name. Also if you can understand what I think are the godparents names in the far left columns.
Thank you to anyone that can be of help to me. I will send his sisters at another time. I see you only want one per request.

Please consider always including the link to the image on FamilySearch, because this forum makes it infuriatingly difficult to zoom in on images, and because the image alone does not convey all of the necessary information for interpreting it -- for example, in this case, the fact that this is a page from the Budapest Calvin Square Reformed Church's registers.
Antónia is indeed the midwife (b. = bába = midwife). I think the godmother's name is just Jolán, and the k.a. is an abbreviation of kisasszony "Miss", because at the baptism of older sister Margit in 1881 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939K-RLSD-MP), the godfather is noted as being unmarried.
