Do you think Schmied is a name or the vocation in this circumstance?
In this Brenner collection it seems like a comma is placed after the first name and before the middle name.

I am looking at the father and mother for Regina Barbara Nieberlein.
Do we assume the Father last name is Nieberlein and could Schmied be a middle name?
Also, is the mother's last name transcribed correctly as Vogel?
Thank you for your help.

P.S. Your record is on image 76. On image 74 the wife's name is: Kunigunda Krauss. This will at least give you some K's to compare with.

Hello Jill,
I am very familiar with the Brenner Collection.
The word "Beruf" translates as: profession, occupation. So Johann Gnad is a smith.
Regina Barbara Nieberlein's father is: Johann Nieberlein and he is a smith. In this instance, the surname "Nieberlein" is understood and the comma separates the forename from the occupation.
The mother's maiden surname could be Vogel or perhaps Kogel. Can you find similar script "V' and "K" in the same hand in adjoining records for comparison?
It is not unusual for German scribes to separate an individual's given names with commas.
