Translation request for Baptism Record
Entry 16 is of interest to me. Could someone please translate the record for Catharine Elisabeth Schroeder? I see a Babbel name. Is this person a godparent or witness? Thank you for your help. I appreciate it very much.

@Robert Seal_1 Yes, I believe it is Gross Engelau. Do you know what a Baptismal Sponsor is? Is it like a godparent?
Thanks Much...Nancy Crawford
