Translation Family Register
Would someone help me translate the following record? I wasn't able to download it and unless I'm at a research center I can not view it. I'll work on the children's information in the future. Right now, I'm at a loss on the birth town for Anton & Rosina, as well as a few of the names and spellings. I put Mazgau, but the closest thing I could find was Wetzgau. I do not see the t when I translate, but I'm at a loss on what that town is. I greatly appreciate it. Here's a link to the page:

@ccr1107,
Even though the family book is not viewable outside a Family History Center, some of the Catholic Church records have been indexed and are available online at:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/3499252
The baptism record for Rosina Beisenwänger is indexed here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:D7RZ-DZN2
According to the online transcription, her mother’s maiden name was Linsenmaier. The baptism event took place in the church at Durlangen. However, based on your transcription of her birth place, it was probably the village of Adelstetten, just to the west of Durlangen. (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10008009)
The village of Wetzgau is to the south of Durlangen, just outside Gmünd. The Meyersgaz entry for Wetzgau (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/21132069) points to the entry for Grossdeinbach, just to the west (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10633036). I could not find a viable baptism entry for Anton Maier in the above database.
If you can give us some of the childrens' names, they may appear in the online database. I can check the image when I am at my Family History Center on Wednesday.

I believe Anton's parents are Josef Maier and Theres Abele from Wezgau. Meyersgaz uses the spelling Wetzgau, but that is just a phonetical version of the same name.
The oldest child of the family was Aloisius, born in 1849. The table shows that he married in 1872 and has his own family on page 386 of the same book.
Maria's marriage to Joseph Reigert in Böhmenkirch is indexed on Ancestry.com.

The website of the record is not accessible (at least for me).

@Ulrich Neitzel This record requires you to be at the Family Search Center to view it. That's probably why I've had a couple problems lately. The record also cannot be downloaded, so I did get screenshots. Again, much harder to read than being able to go directly to the book to try and read it.
@bobgreiner1 Thank you for helping me with the town names - I was at a loss. I'm not sure if the screenshots are helpful, but it does list the children at the bottom of the family register. I also added a screen shot of their names. Their household is 302 and it should be listed in the birth register. Maria Maier is my great, great grandma and her baptism record has this number listed. Maybe those towns you listed for Anton Maier will have church records. At some point I'll get back to a Family Search Center and maybe I can try and locate him. Can you make out what Anton's mother's name is? His father's name looks like Joseph. I can tell his mom's last name is Abeln. Thank you.

I looked at the family sheet in my Family History Center today. I also looked at the one for son Alois on page 376. I noticed that the page for Anton Meier is labeled Hertlisweiler at the top. The page for Alois indicates that he was born at Hertlisweiler (Herdtlinsweiler in Meyersgaz) and married in Weiler (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/21098002). These villages are located to the southeast of Gmünd. The film with the family sheets is for the Catholic Church of Weiler.
In the same set of records I found the baptism for Maria Meier. She was born in Hertlisweiler and baptized at the church in Weiler. It notes that her father Anton was a Mauer in Hertlisweiler, but had citizenship in Gross Deinbach, in the parish of Wezgau.
I downloaded copies of each of these images. Let me know if you would like a copy.

@bobgreiner1 I would love the downloaded pages - thank you for your time and help! Do you know why they would mention that he has citizenship in Gross Deinbach, but lives in Hertlisweiler? Maybe that was normal for the time.
