Baptism Translation request please
Hi,
I was hoping someone could please help translate Pierre Gueffroy’s 1680, Baptism Entry (attached). Other possible information that might help includes – Father: Noe Gueffroy; Mother: Marie Beaucarne (unsure of spelling). Born in the Pfalz region of Germany.
Thanks,
Rob.

OK, here is my best guess. BTW, on the mother's name, her last name is followed by the word "ont", which you may have confused as part of her name.
Noé Gueffroy and Marie Bocat had baptized their son Pierre the 6th of may (I can’t read the next characters, you would expect something about the year, but I can’t make anything out that makes sense to me – the last word looks like it starts ib, so maybe we have a latin phrase, “same as above” or something like that).
The godfather Pierre Parquet, young man, The godmother Anne Marie Candoz (I am guessing at that first letter of her last name) Young girl (or just girl)
After reading the note in the margin, I am going to change my mind about the date. What I read as “le six mai” -the sixth of may, probably really reads “le 24 moi ?? d’oct” or the 24th of October, and then the year, maybe 1680? You will notice that the baptisms are numbered, this one is 79 and the next one is 80. The 8 in 80 looks very much like the character in what I read as 1680.
