Translation Request
I was wondering if I could get a translation of this christening record. The parents are Jakob Stoll and Magdalena Baler. The child is Magdalena born 26 February 1699 in Erlenbach im Simmental, Bern, Switzerland. Thank you!

The baptismal entry is from the first baptismal register of Erlenbach, in which illegitimate children and children of "Hintersassen" were listed. The term “Hintersassen” was primarily used to describe those who moved into a municipality and, unlike the long-established citizens, did not have full citizenship as residents of fewer rights. There is a longer explanation in the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/de/articles/015998/2014-12-05/), unfortunately in German, French or Italian only.
So Jakob Stoll was a Hintersass and, unlike the pastor who wrote the entry, he was aware of this. The surname Stoll is actually native to Guggisberg. The familynames of the other people are all native to Erlenbach i. S. All the places mentioned are small hamlets west of Erlenbach i. S.Since some words are difficult to read, I have tried a three.step approach:

Thank you so very much. My grandfather's family are from Guggisberg. I have been given some records from Guggisberg and have been working on them, so this makes a lot of sense to me. It appears this couple had Madlen when they were very young (17 - 18 years old) before they were married and then went back to Guggisberg where they had three other children. Thanks for the time you took to help with this translation. Sharon
