Help with names of sponsors in birth record
Hello - can anyone please help me with the names of the two sponsors in this baptism record for Christian Desch June 18, 1837? It is in Latin, from a Cincinnati, Ohio Catholic Church serving German immigrants.
My transcription: Die 18te Juni, baptizatus est Christiannus natam 15 hujus filium Joannis Desch et Margaretha Geisel. Sponsores Christianna Stekenslein? et Theodorae Se…. nth?
Here is the link
and in case you can't open the link, here is an image of the record
Thank you

Hello Liz,
I read the first sponsor's surname as: Flekenstein. There are eight people living in Cincinnati in the 1850 federal census with this surname spelled as: Fleckenstein or Flekstine.
The second sponsor's surname escapes me, perhaps Se__inth? or Se?winth?
Best regards, Robert

Thank you Robert. I'm hoping I can find additional clues about Christian's family by tracking these sponsors. Happy New Year!
