Please translate this April 14 1728 record (top left corner) for Maria Catharina. I don't think the side info is connected to this baptism record. I will resend if you need a better image. Thank you

Hello Trish,

Translation:

Greifenstein on the 14th of April [1728] the married couple Anthon [Anton] Me(t)z and Anna Christina had a young daughter baptized who was born on the 12th of the same month. Baptismal sponsors were Johann Henrich Maÿ from Eb_____ß? Nassau jurisdiction; Johann Michael Waal from "Bechiln" [Becheln] in Nassau territory; Maria __lonia? Me(t)z also from the above Becheln ; and Catharina Elisabetha Ott from Nieder________? The child was called Maria Catharina.

Thank you. I am not familiar with "Bechiln" but I see there are records available on Archion site. Wondering what the distance is to Griefenstein/How these two met/ and so forth. Inquisitive mind for these distant ancestors.

The distance between Becheln and Greifenstein is about 80 km. or 50 miles.
