Translation Help Please.
I could use help with a complete translation of this record, please. The information under the father's name may be another puzzle piece to a hypothesis about the roots of my LeCombe family. He appears to be military and I'm wondering if the LeCombe line came over during one of the "Napoleonic Wars".

Unfortunately, the image quality isn't very good when it's enlarged enough to read the writing. The first few columns are easy enough -
Child's name - Friedrich Wilhelm Cornelius Eduard
Date and hour of birth in letters and numbers - 30 November 1804, 4 in the morning
Legitimate or illegitimate - legitimate
Father's name - Jacob Abel LeCombe Bombadier [??] Obrist von Stockhausen Compagnie 3rd [??]Corps after he presented a permission certificate from [Pelecken?]
Mother's name - Dorothe Luise Rapitz
Note - notice how at the top of the image there's the words Doppel Seite and then the number 00008 and then links. That means that there's another page - the right-hand page - to this record somewhere else, either on the same film or on a second film. The second page will have the date of baptism, the godparents' names and maybe comments. So you should look for the second page; the identifier at the top will say Doppel Seite, the same 00008 number, and rechts. Luckily it's the first record on the page, so you'll have no trouble matching up the rest of the record.

Thank you so much. And I'm glad to know it's not just my eyes that we struggling. What I really need is all that information under the father's column....
