Translated from Polish:
Birth Record No. 81, Zgierz, of Elli Erna Ziegler, born in Zgierz on the 7th May 1917, christened on the 29th October 1918, daughter of Alfons Ziegler, a local factory master, 32 years old, a permanent resident of town Zgierz, and of his wife, Emma, born Kadoch. Witnesses: Alfred Ziegler, 52 years old, and Ryszard Wegner, 25 years old, both local factory masters. Godparents: the first witness (Alfred Ziegler) and Emma Kadoch. This record delayed by the father was read and signed. Signatures of Alfons Ziegler, Alfred Ziegler and Richard Wegner.
Please note that 1917 year was of Russian Revolution, that overthrew the imperial government and placed the Bolsheviks in power. Increasing governmental corruption, the reactionary policies of Tsar Nicholas II, and catastrophic Russian losses in World War I contributed to widespread dissatisfaction and economic hardship. It was also the time that Poland became independent of Russia, and records were now written here in German and Polish.
The change in Russian rule in Zgierz might have been the reason that Alfons Ziegler delayed the christening and reporting the birth of his daughter, Elli Erna Ziegler.
