20 Martij [1608]

E(ltern): Hanns Sÿdler im Ziegel Hus, Thrina Kleinerin.

K(ind): Jagli

Z(eugen): Poleÿ Kuntz, Regula Suterin

"im Ziegel Hus" (im Ziegelhaus) = in the brick house

"Poleÿ" (Polei) = Pelagius

Unusual is here that child and godfather don't share the same surname!

Correction on previous transcriptions: I have several times the given name read as "C(at)hrina" - here I came to the conclusion it should be "Thrina", shortened for Cathrina.

I love working with you and am learning a lot. Thanks for all the little notes, extra research and thought provoking questions! You are awesome!

To be honest - I am not emotionally involved with your ancestors - but I enjoy the "detective work" 😁.
