Asking for help on a Torn baptism record
The record attached here is for Anna Maria Buseck of which her death record was recently translated for me. See image below. The record indicated she was 50 years and 6 months of age. With that detail I have determined she would have been born November 1707.
This is what I could get from the record. See Below: Please provide the possible wording based on what is typically written. The pages in the records are not in sequential order as can be seen in the upper corner. I have determined in sorting through the pages that "8" is the year 1707. Previous page 7 is also torn so determining month is difficult (ended 3/4 down in July.
See the third record on the left side: I don't have correct wording but my guess-- Nicolaus Buseck and Anna ?legitimate wife ? ???????(little daughter for baptism, Witnesses Eulalia, Henrich Busecks frau and Johan Balthazar Jung . Child name Anna Maria.
I appreciate your effort to provide some semblance of a record on this child.

Thanks for adding the other images to help figure out the birth year, at least. It looks like someone has written the proper page sequence in small numbers at the top of each page. So the Buseck record on the page labeled 8 would be in 1707. If you look at the first record on that page, you can make out "Sept" as part of the date, so presumably the Buseck child would have been born in September or later in 1707.
Here's something interesting. Look at the page labeled 9, 1707. At the very top, under the Catalogus line, it says "The children on this page belong in 1707 where they were omitted, where the sign [little hand] is." Now go to the page labeled 7, 1707, and under the third entry, you'll see another little hand sign. This is where the entries on page 9 should have been entered.

The birth records are in the correct order as far as I can tell. The year at the top-left of the right-hand page is actually 1705. So Anna Maria's birth may be 1704 or 1705. What year is on the flip side of the torn page?
Here's the approximate translation of the birth record -
[Nic]olaus Buseck and Anna, married couple, had baptized a young [dau]ghter. Witnesses were Eulalia, Henrich [Bus]eck's wife and Johann Balthasar Jung. The child was named Anna Maria.
Note - no date is evident in the fragment that remains, but looking at the size of the page and the other entries, it doesn't seem that a date was in the entry to begin with. Very odd.

Images 3,4,5,6 go in this order-- then image 7 has years 1710 with 1708 and image 8 has 1708 on both sides. The sequence starts with 1705 on image 2. Pages and years do not seem sequential to me.

So very appreciative. Amazing "detective" work. Took me a while to see those "little hands". I feel more confirmed to enter her birth in 1707. Thank you.
